Just last summer the chat application included events in group chats in order to agree on a date on which a video call could occur, such as a family member’s birthday. Now the application wants to offer a better experience and bring these types of events to individual chatswhich could practically replace the ones made in a calendar app.
Normally a third-party app is usually used to create an event and you can even send an email for contacts to confirm their attendance. It is an experience that companies tend to use more so that normal users use their third-party app to remember that they have dinner on that day or where they will meet to go hiking.
And if there is a digital space where those quotes are forgedmeetings or events is in WhatsApp itself. The app owned by Meta now wants to make everything simpler so that from the same app you can specify a date, a place and create the event that reminds both users that they have an appointment on that date.
He didn’t want to forget anything and will even send a notification to remember that the event would be about to occur. In the latest beta version 2.25.1.18 of WhatsApp for Android WaBetaInfo has discovered that the chat app is developing this feature to create events in individual chats.
WaBetaInfo has been able to make a screenshot in which you can see perfectly in an individual conversation the new events button (the same as in group chats).

Once created, you will go to the conversation with the contact so that this receive the notification and accept or decline the invitation. WhatsApp has left nothing in the pipeline to create a new experience so that users can use the events for the next appointment or any meeting.
This WhatsApp novelty will soon be deployed in the final version when its tests are completed and will thus work perfectly to schedule appointments, meetings or meet-ups like never before.
