According to reports obtained by GSM Arena, the feature has been spotted in WhatsApp for Android’s beta version 2.24.14.9, marking the beginning of its broader availability.
Once an event is created, members of the group can view and respond to the invitation, while only the event creator retains the ability to modify event details, according to GSM Arena.
Notably, WhatsApp ensures that all group events are protected by its end-to-end encryption, maintaining user privacy and security.
The update introduces a new “Event” icon accessible through the paperclip menu within group chats, allowing users to seamlessly create and manage events directly within their chat groups.
