About the mention feature:
The mention feature lets you address messages to certain people.
Mentioning someone in a chat:
1. Open a chat and enter the "@" symbol in the text box.
2. Tap the display name of the person you want to mention.
Note: You can mention every member by selecting @All.
3. Enter and send your message.
Note: The person that was mentioned will receive a notification saying "You were mentioned" as long as they have notifications turned on.
Responding to someone using the mention feature:
If you were mentioned in a message, you can respond to the specific person by including "@ + (the person's display name)" in your message.
Differences between a mention and a reply:
Mention: Lets you address messages to certain people in a chat.
Reply: Lets you respond to specific messages in a chat.
Things to keep in mind when using the mention feature:
• Messages with the mention feature can be seen by all members in the chat, not just the person who was mentioned.
• If the person has notifications for chat mentions turned off, they may not be notified when they are mentioned.
