有许多隐藏的 iMessage 功能(hidden iMessage features)不是太多人知道的,其中之一就是“提及”功能。在小组对话中,您可以通过在文本中提及某个人来吸引他们的注意力。
在 iMessage 群聊中提及他人有几个好处。一方面,收件人会收到有关消息的通知,即使他们将群聊静音。它还确保组成员永远不会错过无穷无尽的通用消息流中的个人特定信息。
本指南涵盖了您需要了解的有关在 iPhone、iPad 和Mac上的 iMessage 群聊中提及人员的所有信息。
(Mention Someone)在 iPhone 上的 iMessage聊天中(Chat)提及某人
在“信息(Messages)”应用中打开群组对话,然后输入您要提及的人或联系人的姓名。您可以键入名字或姓氏,如“通讯录(Contacts)”应用程序中显示的那样。
或者,键入 at (@) 符号,后跟联系人姓名。如果您的联系人列表中有匹配的条目,您输入的姓名应立即变为灰色。
点击灰色文本或文本框中的任意位置以继续并选择包含此人姓名和个人资料照片的联系人卡片。
此人的姓名应立即在文本框中变为蓝色。请注意,您可以在同一条消息中提及多个人。
提及(Mention)功能不适用于单独的文本。您可以在发送图片、屏幕截图、视频等彩信时标记或提及他人。
从您的设备中选择媒体,将人名添加到标题中,选择人的联系人卡片并发送消息。
当您发送标记群组成员的文本时,此人将收到一条通知,说明他们在群组消息中被提及。
如果在群组对话的多个文本中提及您,请注意您的姓名可能会有所不同。那是因为 iMessage 将您的姓名显示为保存在发件人的设备上。
在 Mac 上的 iMessage 中提及某人
在 iOS 和 macOS 设备上的 iMessage 中提及联系人遵循相同的逻辑。所要做的就是将该人的联系人卡片添加到您的文本中。
打开群组对话,撰写您的消息,然后在文本框中输入此人的姓名。当文本变为灰色时点击姓名,然后选择弹出的联系人卡片。
此人的姓名将以蓝色文本显示,这意味着他们将在消息中被标记。您提到的成员将在您发送消息时收到警报。当他们打开消息时,他们的名字将以蓝色文本显示。
当该组的成员提及另一个成员时,该个人的姓名以黑色粗体文本突出显示。
在 iMessage 中静音警报和提及
您可以在 iPhone、iPad 和Mac上将来自个人和群组对话的(Mac)iMessage 通知静音(mute iMessage notifications)。但是,对于群聊,当您将对话静音时,您仍会收到提及的通知。
允许提及通知(在 iPhone 和 iPad 上)(Allow Notifications for Mentions (on iPhone and iPad))
如果您不想在群聊中接收通用消息的通知,请前往群组的设置并静音除直接提及之外的所有消息的警报。
- 在消息(Messages)应用程序中打开对话,然后点击群组图片(或向右箭头图标)。
- 选择信息图标(info icon)。
[12-mute-imessage-group-alerts]
- 切换隐藏警报(Hide Alerts)选项。
启用此选项后,iMessage 将静音所有常规文本并仅发送直接提及的通知。
仅允许提及通知(在 macOS 中)(Allow Notifications for Mentions Only (in macOS))
您对 iMessage 群聊所做的更改是特定于设备的。如果您将 iPhone 上的通用消息警报静音,则配置不会在您的 iCloud 设备之间同步。因此,如果您想将群组的通知限制为仅提及,请在“消息(Messages)”设置菜单中进行调整。
打开群组对话,点击右上角的信息图标(info icon),然后选中隐藏警报(Hide Alerts)。该组的显示图片旁边将出现一个半月形图标。
请注意,您设备的通知设置将覆盖 iMessage 声音配置。这意味着如果“请勿打扰(Do Not Disturb)”或“驾驶时请勿打扰(Disturb)”在您的 iPhone、iPad 或Mac上处于活动状态,您将不会收到提及通知。
禁用提及通知(Disable Notifications for Mentions)
如果您不想再在群组或个人聊天中被标记或提及时收到提醒,请在“消息(Messages)”设置菜单中关闭 i消息(Messages)提及的提醒。
在 iPhone 或 iPad 上,前往“设置”(Settings) > “信息(Messages)”,滚动到“提及”部分,然后关闭“通知我”(Notify Me)。
对于Mac,打开Messages应用程序,在菜单栏上选择Messages ,选择(Messages)Preferences,转到General标签并取消选中Notify me when my name is提及(Notify me when my name is mentioned)。
iMessage 提及不起作用?3个修复尝试
如果您无法在 iMessage 群聊中提及某人(can’t mention someone in an iMessage group chat),这可能是由于软件错误、过时的操作系统或临时系统故障等因素造成的。请尝试以下故障排除步骤来解决问题。
1. 更新您的设备(1. Update Your Device)
iMessage提及(Mention)功能适用于分别至少运行iOS 14和 iPadOS 14 的 iPhone 和 iPad。对于Mac台式机和笔记本电脑,拥有macOS Big Sur是先决条件。如果您无法在群聊中提及某人,请更新您设备的操作系统。您还应该通知其他群组成员将他们的设备更新到 iOS 14。否则,他们将不会收到提及通知。
打开 iPhone 或 iPad 的“设置”(Settings)菜单,转到“通用(General)” > “软件更新”(Software Update)并确保您运行的是 iOS 14 或 iPadOS 14 或更高版本。
要更新您的Mac或检查其操作系统版本,请启动系统偏好设置(System Preferences),然后选择软件更新(Software Update)。
安装软件更新还可以消除导致 iMessage 提及故障的软件错误。
2.正确输入联系人姓名(2. Type the Contact Name Correctly)
如果您输入了名字或姓氏的所有字母,iMessage 只会显示联系建议。如果您无法在群组对话中提及某人,请输入该人的全名(不要省略字母)。此外,请确保您正确拼写姓名——与联系人(Contacts)应用程序中保存的完全一致。
3.强制关闭消息应用(3. Force Close the Messages App)
终止并重新启动设备上的消息(Messages)应用程序可以恢复即时消息服务的某些功能(restore some features of the instant messaging service)。
(Swipe)从 iPhone 屏幕底部向上滑动并向上滑动消息预览(Messages)以关闭应用程序。如果您的 iPhone 或 iPad 有实体Home按钮,请双击Home按钮并向上滑动Messages卡片以强制退出应用程序。再次启动消息(Messages)并检查您是否能够在 iMessage 群聊中提及某人。
要在 macOS 中强制退出消息,请启动应用程序并按Shift + Command + Option + Escape。或者,按Command + Option + Escape,选择Messages,然后选择Force Quit。
再次重新打开“信息(Reopen Messages)”并检查您现在是否可以在 iMessage 群聊中提及人员。如果问题仍然存在,请重新启动设备并再次检查。
How to Mention Someone in an iMessage Group Chat
There are many hidden iMessage features that not too many people know about, one of which is the “Mentions” feature. In a group conversation, you can grab the attention of a particular person by mentioning them in your text.
Mentioning people in an iMessage group chat comes with several benefits. For one, the recipient gets notified about the message, even if they muted the group chat. It also ensures that group members never miss out on individual-specific information in the endless stream of generic messages.
This guide covers everything you need to know about mentioning people in iMessage group chats on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Mention Someone in an iMessage Chat on iPhone
Open the group conversation in the Messages app and type the name of the person or contact you want to mention. You can type either the first or last name—as it appears in the Contacts app.
Alternatively, type the at (@) symbol followed by the contact’s name. The name you typed should immediately turn grey if there’s a matching entry in your contacts list.
Tap the greyed-out text or anywhere within the text box to continue and select the contact card containing the person’s name and profile photo.
The person’s name should immediately turn blue in the text box. Note that you can mention multiple people in the same message.
The Mention feature doesn’t work with texts alone. You can tag or mention people while sending multimedia messages like images, screenshots, videos, etc.
Select the media from your device, add the person’s name to the caption, select the person’s contact card and send the message.
When you send the text tagging a group member, the person will receive a notification that they were mentioned in a group message.
If you’re mentioned in multiple texts in a group conversation, note that your name might appear differently. That’s because iMessage displays your name as saved on the sender’s device.
Mention Someone in iMessage on Mac
Mentioning a contact in iMessage on iOS and macOS devices follows the same logic. All there is to do is add the person’s contact card to your text.
Open the group conversation, compose your message, and type the person’s name in the text box. Tap the name when the text turns gray and select the contact card that pops up.
The person’s name will be in blue text, meaning that they’ll be tagged in the message. The member you mentioned will receive an alert when you send the message. When they open the message, their name will appear in blue text.
When a member of the group mentions another member, the individual’s name is highlighted in a black, bold text.
Muting Alerts and Mentions in iMessage
You can mute iMessage notifications from individual and group conversations on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. For group chats, however, you’ll still get notifications for mentions when you mute the conversations.
Allow Notifications for Mentions (on iPhone and iPad)
If you don’t want to receive notifications for generic messages in a group chat, head to the group’s settings and mute alerts for all messages except direct mentions.
- Open the conversation in the Messages app and tap the group picture (or the right-facing arrow icon).
- Select the info icon.
[12-mute-imessage-group-alerts]
- Toggle on the Hide Alerts option.
With this option enabled, iMessage will mute all regular texts and only send notifications for direct mentions.
Allow Notifications for Mentions Only (in macOS)
Changes you make to an iMessage group chat are device-specific. If you mute alerts for generic messages on your iPhone, the configuration won’t sync across your iCloud devices. So, if you want to restrict a group’s notification to mentions only, make the adjustment in the Messages settings menu.
Open the group conversation, tap the info icon at the top-right corner, and check Hide Alerts. A half-moon icon will appear next to the group’s display picture.
Note that your device’s notification settings will override iMessage sound configurations. That means you won’t get notifications for Mentions if Do Not Disturb or “Do Not Disturb While Driving” is active on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Disable Notifications for Mentions
If you no longer want to receive alerts when tagged or mentioned in a group or individual chat, turn off alerts for iMessages mentions in the Messages settings menu.
On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Messages, scroll to the “Mentions” section, and toggle off Notify Me.
For Mac, open the Messages app, select Messages on the menu bar, select Preferences, go to the General tab and uncheck Notify me when my name is mentioned.
iMessage Mentions Not Working? 3 Fixes to Try
If you can’t mention someone in an iMessage group chat, that could be due to factors like software bugs, outdated OS, or temporary system glitches. Try the troubleshooting steps below to resolve the problem.
1. Update Your Device
The iMessage Mention functionality works on iPhone and iPad running at least iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, respectively. For Mac desktops and notebooks, having macOS Big Sur is a prerequisite. Update your device’s operating system if you can’t mention someone in a group chat. You should also inform other group members to update their devices to iOS 14. Else, they won’t receive mention notifications.
Open your iPhone or iPad’s Settings menu, go to General > Software Update and make sure you’re running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14—or newer versions.
To update your Mac or check its OS version, launch System Preferences, and select Software Update.
Installing a software update can also squash software bugs causing iMessage mentions to malfunction.
2. Type the Contact Name Correctly
iMessage will only bring up a contact suggestion if you input all letters of the first or last name. If you can’t mention someone in a group conversation, type the person’s first or last name in full (with no letter omitted). Additionally, ensure you spell the name correctly—exactly as saved in the Contacts app.
3. Force Close the Messages App
Terminating and restarting the Messages app on your device can restore some features of the instant messaging service.
Swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone’s screen and swipe up the Messages preview to close the app. If your iPhone or iPad has a physical Home button, double-click the Home button and swipe up the Messages card to force quit the app. Launch Messages again and check if you’re able to mention someone in an iMessage group chat.
To force-quit Messages in macOS, launch the app and press Shift + Command + Option + Escape. Or, press Command + Option + Escape, select Messages, and select Force Quit.
Reopen Messages again and check if you can now mention people in an iMessage group chat. If the problem persists, restart your device and check again.
