WhatsApp is currently working on this feature that’s expected to roll out in a future release, the company announced in a statement.
WABetaInfo explains this
feature as “when you receive a mention in a group, a new badge will be added in the group cell.” WhatsApp already notifies users when they’re tagged in group chats so this could be an extension of the feature.
