WhatsApp Adds Member Tags, Text Stickers and Reminders

2 Minutes

WhatsApp is rolling out three practical upgrades to group chats: Member tags, text-based stickers, and customizable event reminders. These small changes are aimed at cutting through group clutter and helping communities, teams, and friend groups stay organized and expressive.

Smarter roles with Member tags

Member tags let you add a brief label to your profile inside a specific group—think Organizer, Tech lead, or Guest. Tags are set per group, so you might be an admin in one chat and a contributor in another. It’s a quick way to clarify responsibilities without long explanations or repeated messages.

Turn words into stickers

With Sticker Search, any word you type can be converted into a sticker instantly. That means you can craft a reaction, a short reply, or an inside joke on the fly. Newly created text stickers can also be saved straight to your sticker packs, so your custom responses are always a tap away.

Event reminders that actually help

When you create and share an event in a group chat, you can now add personalized early reminders for invited members. Choose how far in advance people get nudged so fewer attendees arrive late—or forget entirely. It’s a small planning tweak that reduces last-minute chaos.

These updates are rolling out to WhatsApp users on Android and iOS as part of Meta’s regular release cycle. For anyone who lives in group chats, the changes should make roles clearer, replies quicker, and events easier to manage. Have you tried them yet?
