WhatsApp Introduces Seamless Event Organization Feature
- WhatsApp introduces event organization within Communities, simplifying planning and RSVPs directly within the app.
- Users can now reply directly to Announcement Group messages, enhancing communication within communities while keeping discussions organized.
WhatsApp announced Wednesday a new way for individuals to organize events within Communities using WhatsApp, making planning get-togethers and events simpler than ever – from PTA meetings and birthday dinners directly within WhatsApp to simple get-togethers!
Anyone can create events for others to RSVP on, providing all group members an overview of who plans on attending and when the date approaches. Event listings will appear within their group’s information page and attendees will get notifications as the event date approaches.
This new feature will initially become available to groups belonging to Communities and will gradually extend outward over the course of coming months.
WhatsApp has also introduced the ability for users to reply directly to Announcement Group messages sent from admins of communities, known as Announcement Groups, which allow administrators of such communities to send updates out directly. Replies will be collected so you can easily see who else responded without receiving notifications about each post individually – this new feature allows admins to hear what their members think while keeping Announcement Groups organized and free of clutter.
WhatsApp Communities was released back in November to allow neighborhoods, school associations, hobbyists and more to stay connected by letting admins join up to 50 groups into one Community at one time. Over time new features will be made available within Communities and groups – an idea shared by WhatsApp Inc.
