Google Messages is introducing a Mentions feature that allows users to tag other users in group chats by typing @ followed by their name or number.
An autocomplete prompt will assist users in the process of mentioning others, and the mentioned users will have their names highlighted for easier identification in group chats.
This feature aims to improve the messaging experience in group chats on Google Messages, which is widely used for RCS conversations on Android devices.
The latest beta version of Google Messages (v20250511) now includes the Mentions feature, offering users a convenient way to grab the attention of specific individuals in group discussions.
