EVER wonder if people are talking about you?
WhatsApp will give you a bit of a heads up.

Unfortunately it won’t be able to tell if someone is talking about you behind your back – that would be quite a feature.
Instead, tech giant Meta let you know whenever you’ve been mentioned in chats you’re a part of.
It essentially makes notifications more useful than they are at the moment.
The change means you’ll have a better idea of who has mentioned you or replied to you within groups.
Before, you would simply get a text only alert.
But now, the person’s profile photo will appear in the notification.
The group profile photo will appear for messages in groups.
It’s a small but useful adjustment that give users a quick update of who’s talking to – or about – them.
The platform already has loads of useful bonus features.
For example, voice messaging preview feature.
You can also set self-destruction timers for all of your chats.
That means all texts will automatically delete after a chosen period of time.
