WhatsApp beta tests chat-integrated event creation feature
The creators of WhatsApp are continuing their momentum by preparing more new features that will be available to users in the coming weeks and months. One of these, which some users can already test through beta trials, is the ability to create individual events within chats.
The service WABetaInfo highlights that the recently introduced event feature on WhatsApp, initially available within communities, will eventually also be functional in individual chats. This will allow users to create events within specific conversations, enhancing planning capabilities with particular contacts on WhatsApp.
An example provided is a conversation between a student and a tutor, who can utilize WhatsApp events to better organize their activities. In practice, these conversation components will operate similarly to shared calendars, but integrating events directly into the chat can make everything more readable — the entire communication will be contained within one window on WhatsApp.
Currently, this new option is not yet available for regular users. It is undergoing testing within the beta program and is limited in its availability.
Based on experience, we know that such a stage often indicates that the release of a new feature to all users is not far off. While specific dates are uncertain, it's reasonable to speculate that it will be rolled out in the coming months.
