Final month, WhatsApp introduced a function referred to as Occasions for the Communities and stated that it could be rolled out for teams that aren’t part of any group “over the coming months.” Whereas WhatsApp hasn’t revealed when precisely this function can be out there worldwide for all group chats, it is already out there for some customers on WhatsApp for Android’s beta model 2.24.14.9.
This revelation comes from WABetaInfo, who shared a screenshot (included under) exhibiting the Occasions function out there for normal group chats as effectively that aren’t related to any group.
Clicking on the paperclip icon within the group chat now presents an extra “Event” icon that allows you to create a brand new occasion. As soon as created, members of the group can view and settle for the occasion invite, whereas the modifications to the occasion can expectedly be made solely by the creator of that occasion. It is also value mentioning that group occasions are end-to-end encrypted.
In case you are an Android consumer and might’t anticipate the general public rollout of the Occasions function for normal group chats, you may join the beta program to present it a attempt.
