Know more about the New Events Feature on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is coming up with a couple of new features for Communities. This will allow the members to engage and interact in a way like never before.
On Wednesday, Meta announced that the instant messaging platform is coming up with a New Events Feature. The messaging platform will also allow replies in the Announcement groups to make the messaging experience more interactive. The New Events Feature will allow members of a group to create any event to which other participants can add whether they would be attending the event or not. Reportedly, WhatsApp is also working on a recent online feature that will record and list all those who have logged into the app recently.
While announcing through a newsroom post, Meta said, “To help bring communities even closer together, we’re adding a new way for people to organize events on WhatsApp, and we’re introducing organized replies in Announcement Groups so members can respond to important updates from admins.”
Where can you find the option on WhatsApp?
You can find the option to create an event on WhatsApp by tapping on the paper clip icon in the text field. This text field is the one that also has options for payments and polls. Any member of the group whose group is part of a community can create an event.
Events can be for anything- may it be a virtual meet-up or a birthday party. Other members can respond and provide their confirmation whether they will attend the meeting or not.
