WhatsApp is developing a new feature for its Android app that will allow users to mute ‘@everyone’ mentions in group chats. The function is intended to give users greater control over group conversation notifications and reduce disruptions from frequent or unnecessary mentions that alert all members of a group.
这项正在开发的功能是由功能跟踪器 WABetaInfo 在 WhatsApp Beta for Android 版本 2.25.27.1 中发现的，该版本被指定为兼容更新。据报道，Meta Platforms 旗下的即时通讯客户端可能正在准备在应用程序的未来版本中发布该工具。
功能跟踪器提供的屏幕截图说明了该功能将如何显示在用户界面中。群聊的通知设置中添加了新的“静音@everyone”选项，位于主静音开关的正下方。 The feature is disabled by default, meaning users must manually activate the toggle to suppress these specific notifications.
This mute capability is being developed as a direct response to the existing ‘mention everyone’ function. That function allows any group participant, not exclusively administrators, to trigger a notification for every member of the group with a single message. The new mute option is being created to address concerns about the potential misuse of this alert system and to mitigate notification overload for users.
Once the feature is rolled out, users will be able to suppress notifications that are specifically triggered by ‘@everyone’ mentions.他们仍然可以选择照常接收所有其他群组通知。此外，即使群聊本身被静音，这些设置也将允许用户继续接收来自“@everyone”提及的通知，从而提供了一种更个性化的方法来管理 Android 版 WhatsApp 上的提醒。
WABetaInfo 报告称，所有人都提到的静音功能目前正在开发中，尚未提供给任何用户。这包括通过 Google Play Beta 计划注册的 Beta 测试人员。 The feature may become available for testing purposes in a future update of the app over the coming weeks.
