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

The tools aim to clarify roles, speed up sticker creation and improve event coordination as availability expands to more users in phases.

Overview

  • WhatsApp introduced three group-focused additions that include self-chosen Member Tags, on-the-fly Text Stickers and configurable Event Reminders.
  • Member Tags are set by each user per group, require no admin approval, and appear in message bubbles and the participants list to add immediate context.
  • Text Stickers let users type words into Sticker Search to generate dynamic visual options and save new creations directly to their sticker packs.
  • Event creators can now set custom early reminders for invitees, helping groups remember start times or travel plans for in-person and virtual gatherings.
  • The features are rolling out gradually beyond beta users, with Android and iOS receiving them first and web/desktop expected to follow.
