WhatsApp Beta Tests New Event Duration Feature for Community Chats on Android
One of the new features WhatsApp is now developing will allow users to indicate the event duration in group chats within community groups. This is featured in the beta version 2.24.17.11 for Android.
Events, the communities feature, was rolled out in May and began hitting group chats in June for beta users. They could also add a location and a link for a WhatsApp call. What’s New lets community group members set a specific start and end time for their events.
This addition is expected to be especially useful in communities where organizing multiple events is common. While there is no word yet about when WhatsApp intends to open this feature up to its millions of users around the globe, Android users who are eager for it can easily register into the beta program.
