WhatsApp Rolls Out Member Tags, Text Stickers, and Event Reminders for Group Chats

The tools begin a staged global rollout beyond beta testers.

Overview

  • Member Tags let users self-assign per-group labels that show in message bubbles and the participants list to add quick role context.
  • Text Stickers convert words typed into Sticker Search into real-time sticker styles that can be saved directly to sticker packs for reuse.
  • Event creators can set custom early reminders for invitees inside group threads to improve planning for calls or in-person gatherings.
  • WhatsApp says event details and reminders are protected with end-to-end encryption so only group participants can see them.
  • Availability is expanding with app updates as the features move beyond earlier beta builds to broader Android, iOS, web, and desktop users.
