How to Set Up a WhatsApp Group Event

How to Set Up a WhatsApp Group Event

Early in the year, WhatsApp introduced a new feature dubbed "Events." Events are initially limited to community groups, so you and your contacts can use them to plan events and remain in touch.

It appears that WhatsApp has now enabled this capability for group chats as well. This implies that users can now create virtual gatherings in group conversations.

What do Events on WhatsApp mean? 

With WhatsApp's Events feature, organizing get-togethers is made simpler for users right within the app.   

Anyone can create an event, and others can respond, whether it be a birthday feast or a straightforward virtual meeting.  

Indeed, when the event gets closer to its set time, WhatsApp notifies the participants.

How Can I Make an Event in a Group WhatsApp Chat? 

It is crucial to understand that the group chat feature's "Events" are being introduced gradually before proceeding with the instructions. Thus, you might not receive it right immediately. Verify that the WhatsApp app on your phone is the most recent version.

Try updating the WhatsApp Beta app if you are using the most recent version of WhatsApp and still are not able to view Event. This is how events are configured in group WhatsApp chats.

1. Open the group conversation in which you wish to create an event by launching the WhatsApp app on your phone.

2. After that, click the Paperclip symbol in the text area.

3. Choose the Event option from the menu that shows.

4. Give the event a name and a succinct explanation.  

5. After that, tap the date to enter the event's time and date.

6. Enter the venue where the event is being planned in the Location field.

7. Tap on Call type and choose Voice or Video to configure a call feature for the event.

8. When you are finished, click the Send button in the lower right corner. The WhatsApp group will be informed about the event.

How Can a WhatsApp Event Be Canceled? 

If you would like, you may also remove the WhatsApp event that you made. Please be aware that if you need to cancel or alter the event, the attendees will be informed.

Open the group chat in which you created the WhatsApp event in order to cancel it. After tapping on the event, choose Cancel Event. This ends the event that you have scheduled.

In a group, how do you discover forthcoming events? 

Locating an event for a group is not too difficult. Open the group and tap the Group name at the top to accomplish this.  

All upcoming events are displayed on the group information screen. The decision to attend the event can then be made.
