I joined my very first Group Chat on iMessage (everyone is using WhatsApp) and I am kind of surprised how dumb it apparently is when it comes to tagging people?

For instance, I have been tagging my Bf occasionally to make sure he reads a message and I had no idea, it is being shown to EVERYONE! as „Schatz“ (which is like a word you give your better half in German).

I only noticed because a friend just tagged her sister and it showed as „Sis“ instead of her name (which I have saved in my contacts). I was like „Sis? Sis who?“

You would think iOS would be smart enough to automatically show it as the name YOU use for that contact in your contacts? Am I missing something? Dumb!

Imagine you have an affair with your wives sister (lol) and she appears as „side piece“ in a tagged group chat message instead of the name of the sister 😅
