WhatsApp has started testing the ability to create events in community group chats. WABetaInfo has discovered that the feature has started rolling out to a limited number of testers running WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.24.9.20.

The “Event” option is available in the attachment panel and eligible testers who are part of a WhatsApp group chat can use it to create events for events such as online meetings.

According to a screenshot of the feature, details such as date, time, location and a link to a WhatsApp conversation can be included when creating a new event in the app. You can choose whether to include a link to a video call or a voice call in the invitation to the event.

Members of the community group chat can receive the invitation to the event and receive notifications of any changes made by the creator. The site notes that WhatsApp’s events feature is accessible through older beta versions, including 2.24.9.18 and 2.24.9.19, and adds that it will roll out to more users in the coming weeks.

For reference, WhatsApp Community allows you to bring together several topic-based or relevant groups. You can create a community of up to 100 groups with up to 2,000 members in total, a supporting document says WhatsApp automatically creates a message group for each community, which admins can use to send messages to all community members.

Apart from this, WhatsApp is also testing the feature for group chats outside of communities, according to WABetaInfo. WhatsApp is working on a stream of other features such as picture-in-picture mode, favorites, default media upload quality, and support for third-party messaging platforms.

In recent months, the Meta-owned instant messaging app has added a number of features, including video forward/rewind, up to 16 channel managers and the ability to filter group chats. You can find chats easily using three filters at the top of your chat list.
