Why is this symbol only next to 1-2 people's chat in a group chat? What does it mean?

    Hello Kochelle

    Good day!

    This symbol comes up if a chat member @mentions everyone in the group chat. i.e. the chat member needs to notify everyone in the chat by typing @everyone in their message. Example in screenshot below.

    I'm unable to do that due to Corporate restrictions on privacy. Frankly, the extra effort it's taking to get a straight answer is off-putting. It would be more helpful to share the meaning based on use cases in which all that information would be helpful to the community.
