WhatsApp has introduced three new features designed to make group chats more useful and easier to manage.

The update does brings some improvements, especially for polls, you know. Now users are able to hide their names while voting, they can set a time limit for polls, and they can even revise a poll within 15 minutes right after creating it.

Also, WhatsApp is adding an @all mention feature. This lets people notify everyone in a group in one go, so it feels a bit faster. But for bigger groups, those with more than 32 members , only admins can actually use it.

Lastly, there is a new way to make a group from another group. The option “Create a similar group” is available in the group details screen, so it’s easier to form smaller chats using only the selected members.
