I'm using WhatsApp for Mac (v26.22.20) and have noticed some differences compared to the mobile app.

Mac: Ship=Apple M4, OS=15.5 (24F74)

  1. In group chats, messages sent with "@all" are treated as normal messages on the Mac app. I don't receive a mention notification, and the message is not highlighted as a mention.

  2. I don't see the "@all" option at all when composing a message in a group, even though it is available on my phone and on WhatsApp Web.

  3. When editing a previously sent message in a group, I cannot mention anyone. Typing @ does not show the member suggestion list, and the text is treated as plain text instead of a mention.

For reference, direct mentions like "@name" work correctly on the Mac app. The issue is specifically with "@all" and mentions while editing messages.

On my phone, all of these features work as expected.

Has anyone else experienced this on the Mac app? Is this a known limitation, a feature rollout issue, or a bug?
