Want to bring a message to the attention of a participant in a WhatsApp group conversation? Tag this person in your message.
tag
In WhatsApp conversations, people can also target a message to a specific person. We call this tagging. This way everyone in the group knows who the comment is for. An additional advantage is that the tagged person always receives a notification of the message. Even if he/she does not normally receive notifications of the group conversation. Only if all conversations are really on silent, the person will not receive a notification.
