WhatsApp is adding a way for any group member to set up an event in the chat, so plans stop getting buried under messages.
WhatsApp now lets any member of a group create an event right inside the chat. Others in the group can reply and add suggestions. If you run a school group, club or neighborhood chat, that means one place to see the plan instead of scrolling back through old messages.
Events also show up on the group info page, so everyone can see the next plan at a glance. The feature starts with groups inside a Communities space. WhatsApp says it plans to bring it to all groups over the coming months.
A company spokesperson said people use Communities for neighborhoods, schools and hobby groups to stay connected.
The beta toggle would send a push alert when a friend likes your status update. Reports suggest a one-tap like button may come later.
The report does not say what the feature costs or give exact dates for each group. It also does not say when the like button might arrive, or if it will.
If your group sits inside a WhatsApp Community, look for the new event option first. Other groups should get it in the coming months.
