WhatsApp has begun rolling out its previously community-exclusive Events feature to regular group chats. This feature, announced last month, was initially available only to Communities, but it’s now being introduced to group chats that are not part of any community.
The WhatsApp Community-exclusive Events Key Details
Beta Release
- Availability: The Events feature is now accessible for some users on WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.14.9.
- Source: WABetaInfo, a trusted source for WhatsApp updates, has confirmed this and shared a screenshot showing the feature in regular group chats.
How It Works
- Creating Events: Users can create new events by clicking on the paperclip icon in a group chat, where they will find an additional “Event” icon.
- Event Management: Once an event is created, all group members can view and accept the event invite. Only the creator can modify the event details.
- Security: Group events are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring privacy and security.
How to Access
For those eager to try out the Events feature before its public rollout, joining the WhatsApp beta program for Android is an option. This will allow users to experience new features ahead of the official release.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Events feature to regular group chats on WhatsApp enhances the app’s functionality, making it easier for users to organize and manage events within their groups. This feature, combined with WhatsApp’s strong security measures, promises a secure and efficient way to plan and coordinate activities.
Stay tuned for further updates as WhatsApp continues to roll out this feature more broadly.
