WhatsApp is working on bringing events in individual chats
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.20.34 update, we announced a feature that lets users schedule events in community announcement groups. In the past, users could only create events in group chats. Recently, it has been expanded to community announcement groups. This allows users to organize new events in their communities.
WhatsApp keeps improving the feature by expanding it to regular chats. That's what we discovered with the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.18 update, which is available on the Google Play Store. In particular, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature that lets users create events in their individual chats.
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is developing a new feature that allows users to create events in their individual chats. Users will be able to create events in their individual chats just as they do in their groups and communities. To create an event, users will need to enter a name and a description. Users can also pick the date on which the event will take place. In addition, users can define the duration of the event by specifying an end time.
Users can attach a location to the event. This will make it easier for users to understand where the activity will place. Users can also specify whether the event requires a voice or video call, making it convenient for virtual meetings. Once users create the event in their individual chat, the app will automatically share it with the recipient. The recipient will be notified and can choose whether to accept or decline the invitation.
Users will be able to create events for different purposes. For example, students can schedule a private session with their tutor. A student and its tutor could create an event to coordinate their availability. This will eliminate the need for back-and forth messaging to confirm the details. Since information is consolidated in a single message, users will be easily able to retrieve it at any time.
The feature that lets users create events in individual chats is under development, and it will be available in a future update. We will publish a new article as soon as we have more details to share.
