Mentions (@Username)

Applies to:

To help users limit the number of notifications they receive and prioritize accordingly, a user can turn off all notifications except for when they're specifically mentioned (@username) in a Group Conversation or Wickr Pro Room. 

Then users who need the attention of a particular Contact can specify that Contact by mentioning them with an "@Username" included in a Wickr message.

You can find this feature's controls in the "Information" (i) screen on mobile and at the top of the screen in desktop:

The @ mention feature will not alert a person if they have disabled all alerts, it only alerts when the "Only @Me" option in a Conversation/Room is selected and notifications are turned on.
