WhatsApp's Community-exclusive Events feature is now available for group chats

Image
Last month, WhatsApp announced a feature called Events for the Communities and said that it would be rolled out for groups that are not a part of any community "over the coming months." While WhatsApp hasn't revealed when exactly this feature will be available worldwide for all group chats, it's already available for some users on WhatsApp for Android's beta version 2.24.14.9. This revelation comes from WABetaInfo, who shared a screenshot (included below) showing the Events feature available for regular group chats as well that are not associated with any community. Clicking on the paperclip icon in the group chat now presents an additional "Event" icon that lets you create a new event.

New Ways to Organize Events in WhatsApp Communities

Image
Today WhatsApp is introducing a new way to organize events. It should thus be easier to plan get togethers directly in WhatsApp, without the need for separate apps, regardless of whether you're setting up a virtual meeting or birthday dinner or whatever else. Anyone can create an event that others can respond to in a group chat, so that the entire group knows who's coming and who isn't. Events will also be listed in each group's information page, and those who are going will get a notification when the event is getting close. Events are rolling out to groups that belong to a Community first, and will land in all groups "over the coming months". WhatsApp is also adding the ability for you to reply to announcements from admins in Communities. These replies will be grouped together and minimized, allowing you to see what others have said in context. Notifications for such replies are muted for everyone, so as to not turn into a huge annoyance. Subscribe to More
