WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.6: what's new?

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.25.3.6.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to create and share events in individual chats, and it's available to some beta testers!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.18 update, we announced that a feature to create events in individual chats was under development. This feature aimed to enhance one-on-one interactions by allowing users to schedule and manage events directly within private conversations. By introducing this capability, WhatsApp ensures that event details are centralized in a single message, reducing the need for extensive back-and-forth messaging. It appears that WhatsApp is now testing this feature with the public, as some beta testers have reported seeing a new option to create events in their individual chats. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.6 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to create and share events in individual chats!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, some beta testers can explore a new feature that allows them to schedule events within private conversations, making it easier to organize personal appointments and reminders. Previously, the ability to create events was only available in group chats and community groups, as it was primarily seen as a tool for organizing larger gatherings and coordinating multiple people. However, it seems that WhatsApp has recognized the need for a more personalized scheduling feature and has now extended event support to one-on-one chats.

With this new feature, users can easily plan meetings, set reminders for important tasks, or coordinate personal commitments without needing third-party calendar apps. For example, two colleagues discussing an upcoming deadline can create an event with the due date, ensuring both are reminded at the right time. Similarly, a doctor and a patient could schedule an appointment directly within their chat, avoiding confusion about the date and time.

The feature to create events in individual chats offers the same options available in group chats, allowing users to specify a location for in-person meetings, making it easier to coordinate meetups. For virtual interactions, users can link the event to an audio or video call, just like in group events, streamlining the process of setting up online discussions. This is especially useful for remote workers, students, or friends who want to catch up via a scheduled video call, ensuring a consistent and familiar experience across both individual and group chats.

Since event details are shared within the chat, both participants will have easy access to the information without needing to search through past messages. The recipient of the event invitation will also have the option to accept or decline it, ensuring clear communication and confirmation between both parties. It's worth noting that this feature also benefits people who use WhatsApp for business purposes. Freelancers and clients can set up project deadlines, payment reminders, or consultation calls efficiently. Parents and teachers can schedule parent-teacher meetings within their conversations, ensuring a structured way to organize important discussions. We believe that this can be considered as a convenient tool for planning day-to-day activities without the need for external apps.

A feature to create and share events in individual chats is available to some beta testers who install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and it is rolling out to even more people over the coming weeks.
