Facebook Messenger new feature to tag everyone in the group
Currently Facebook Messenger has been updated with a nice new feature, allowing you to tag all the people in the Messenger chat group on your phone at the same time, in addition, you can also send messages without showing notifications, just with quite a simple operation.
Other additions include polls in Instagram DMs, a built-in poll feature that exists in Messenger. Messenger is also adding group typing to group direct messages - no matter what app you're chatting on - to help users know when their friends are typing at the same time. Additionally, since Instagram includes video content, users will now be able to use Messenger's existing Watch Together feature to view Instagram posts such as stories and IGTV videos at the same time.
Note: This new feature is only available on mobile phones. Messenger on computers has not yet been updated to this feature, but it will be available soon in the future.
To tag all members in a Facebook Messenger chat group or send a message without showing the message to the recipient, just follow these easy steps:
Step 1: You need to update Messenger on your phone to the latest version. Go to CH Play (Android) or App Store (iOS) to check.
Step 2: After successfully updating to the latest version, you can go to any chat group where you need to tag people or send messages without notifying the recipients.
Then, in the text editor box, enter @ to open the list of members you want to tag, scroll down to the bottom of the table of members who can tag. You will see an @Everyone entry, select it and then hit submit and you can tag people.
Similarly, to send a message without notification, you just need to select the @Silent item, then compose a message and send it to be able to send a message without displaying the message content to the recipient. This feature applies not only to group chats, but also to individual chats.
When someone is mentioned with a tag, instead of just seeing someone who replied in the chat, that person will receive a new type of notification letting them know they have been specifically tagged. That way, it's easy to just jump back into the conversation and answer that exact question. The cool thing is that everyone in the chat will see the call, but only the person in question will receive the special call. And of course, as with anything on Facebook, you can choose not to receive notifications.

On the personal Facebook page, CEO Meta Mark Zuckerberg announced that the Messenger messaging application has added a notification feature when the conversation is screenshotted.
"A new update is available for end-to-end encrypted chats on Messenger. With this new feature, you'll get a notification if someone takes a screenshot of a message before it disappears. We is also adding GIFs, stickers and expression features to encrypted chats," the Facebook boss wrote.
This feature is said to help users better protect their privacy, avoiding someone taking a picture of the message and spreading it to the outside. In fact, this is not the first time the message screenshot notification feature has been updated on Meta's platforms (formerly Facebook). Last November, Vietnamese Instagram accounts were all updated with this feature.
Previously, Facebook Messenger chats were not encrypted end-to-end by default, which meant users had to enable the feature. While Messenger is getting some improvements, Meta still plans to encrypt all chats by 2023 when they integrate Instagram and Messenger chats.
In a Telegraph interview last year, the global head of safety at Meta, Antigone Davis, spoke about the company's efforts to provide a more secure platform:
"At Meta, the company that owns Facebook and WhatsApp, we know people expect us to use the safest technology available, which is why all the personal messages you send on WhatsApp are is end-to-end encrypted and why we're working hard to make it a default feature across the rest of the apps."
Meta first promised encrypted chat as early as 2022, but now that has changed. "We're taking our time to get this right, and we don't plan to finish rolling out encryption globally by default across all of our messaging services until around 2023. ", he said.
