WhatsApp's @all Ping Bypasses Muted Chats, Admins-Only Above 32 Members

WhatsApp's new @all mention notifies every member of a group chat at once. In groups exceeding 32 members, only admins can trigger it. The ping breaks through muted chats by default, but users can separately silence @all pings in notification settings — a two-tier design echoing Slack and Discord, where mass-mention controls long predate this rollout.
