PetTomo is a private shared virtual pet room for invited members. Room members can raise a pet together, feed it with photos, chat, decorate the room, and keep memories tied to that room. Local release copy for version 1.1.2 confirms that chat supports @mentions for room members, making it easier to point someone to a specific message without turning the room into a public social feed.
Key Takeaways
- PetTomo chat belongs to an invite-based room, not a public timeline.
- @mentions help a member call attention to a room message.
- Mentions are useful for pet-care reminders, photo reactions, decoration choices, and small group coordination.
- The safe product claim is that room chat supports @mentions; do not promise guaranteed notification delivery on every device.
- Mentions work best when they support a light shared routine instead of replacing real conversation.
Why Mentions Matter In A Shared Pet Room
PetTomo rooms are built around small actions. One person may feed the pet with a photo, another may notice the pet status, and someone else may want to react in chat. In a room with more than two members, a normal message can be easy to miss.
An @mention gives the message a clearer target. It can help a partner, friend, or family member understand that a chat line is meant for them.
Good Ways To Use @mentions
Use mentions for specific, low-pressure context:
- Asking a member to check a feed photo.
- Pointing out a pet-care change in the room.
- Asking for an opinion before changing furniture or background.
- Reacting to a shared memory or gallery moment.
- Coordinating who will invite another member into the room.
Mentions should stay friendly and practical. PetTomo is designed for private connection, so the goal is to make the shared room easier to follow.
Keep The Room Private And Readable
PetTomo's confirmed product model is invite-based. Chat, feed photos, room state, and memories belong to the room context. Mentions do not make the room public, and they should not be described as public tagging.
If a message is sensitive, remember that active room members can see room chat. Use mentions to clarify who should look, not to create private one-to-one messages inside the room.
FAQ
Are PetTomo @mentions public?

What did the 1.1.2 release add?
Local in-app release copy says PetTomo added @mentions in chat so members can highlight a message for a specific room member.

No. Mentions can make a message clearer, but they do not guarantee attention, notification delivery, or relationship outcomes.
Summary
@mentions make PetTomo room chat easier to scan in couples, friend groups, and family rooms. Use them to point invited members to pet care, photos, memories, and decoration decisions while keeping the experience private and lightweight.
