WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.2.10.73: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new iOS update through the TestFlight beta Program, bringing the version up to 25.2.10.73.
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 2.25.3.6 update, we announced that a feature to create events in individual chats was available to some beta testers. This update expands the scheduling capabilities beyond group chats and communities, allowing users to organize personal appointments and reminders directly within one-on-one conversations. By integrating event creation into private chats, WhatsApp aims to simplify planning for both personal and professional interactions, eliminating the need for third-party calendar apps. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to offer iOS users the same enhanced experience with events as it already does for the Android version, aiming to provide a consistent experience across both platforms. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.2.10.73 update, which is available on TestFlight, 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 feature to schedule and manage events directly within private conversations. In the past, event creation was only available in group chats and community groups, primarily intended for coordinating larger gatherings. Probably noticing the need for a more personalized scheduling solution, WhatsApp has expanded this feature to individual chats, making it easier for two people to plan and organize events.

This new feature makes it easier to coordinate important events between two people without relying on external calendar apps. For example, a patient and a doctor can schedule an appointment directly in their chat, ensuring that both have clear details about the date and time. Similarly, two colleagues working on a project can create an event to set deadlines or plan a follow-up meeting. Another useful scenario is for freelancers who need to organize consultation calls with their clients. Instead of sharing multiple messages to confirm availability, it is now possible to schedule the meeting directly within the conversation.

Many users have recognized the event creation feature as a valuable tool for coordination. Since events were not previously available in individual chats, some users even resorted to creating two-person groups as a workaround to use the feature. Reports from the web suggest that this allowed them to schedule meetings and set reminders despite the limitation. With the introduction of events in one-on-one chats, WhatsApp has removed the need for these workarounds, making it easier and more efficient to coordinate events between two people.

A feature to create and share events in individual chats is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming days.
