What is a mention?
A mention is when someone specifically names another person or account in a group message or post.
How can I use a mention?
To mention someone type an '@' and start typing their name directly after. You will see suggested names to choose from. Click on the name of the person you want to mention.
Why do people use mentions?
When someone is mentioned, they get a notification about the message. So people use mentions to draw attention to specific people within a group, or to draw the mentionee's attention to the message.
