WhatsApp has released a new feature for regular chats. This will allow users to create events. Earlier this feature was limited to communities only. But it seems that WhatsApp has now considered extending this feature to regular chats to further improve collaboration and coordination. This means that now events can be created even without joining any community.

Through this feature, users can input event details such as name, description, date, and optional location. Also, they can tell whether a voice or video call is required or not. It is clear from this step that the company wants to give better features to the users.

According to the report of WABetaInfo, changes will be made in the paper-clip options in the new update. WhatsApp has extended the options to choose from. On clicking the paper-clip option, the application is used to give the option of image, document, audio, contact, location, and add a poll. After the update, the app will get another option to create events.

Once created, members within the group chat will be able to view and accept the event invitation. Also, the creator will have the ability to update the event details as needed. It is important to note that events are always securely end-to-end encrypted. This means that only the participants in the conversation have access to the event details and communications. This maintains the privacy of all group members.

This update is being released in a phased manner. Hence, the event feature for group chats is available to some users. It is available to users who have installed the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android from Google Play Store and it will be available to more people in the coming days. It will be available to both stable and beta version users.
