WhatsApp is introducing new social capabilities to its status feature. The messaging app will now let you add private mentions to your status, just like you would tag someone in Instagram Stories.
When you “mention” a.k.a tag someone in your WhatsApp Status, they will be notified privately, and the mention won’t show on your status. This is how WhatsApp’s feature differs from Instagram, where anyone can see the people mentioned in Stories. Privately mentioned users will be able to reshare a status should they wish to do so.
