WhatsApp is testing a feature that will help s create and share events in individual chats, according to a WABetaInfo report. Currently, the feature is ed only in group chats and Communities. The feature is currently being tested with beta s on both Android (version 2.25.3.6) and iOS (version 25.2.10.73).

Some beta testers have already received the event scheduling feature, and it is gradually rolling out to more s, the reports noted. It may roll out to regular s in the months. Previously, s had to create two-person groups as a workaround to schedule events, but with this update, they will be able to organise any necessary events on their personal chats.

The new feature allows WhatsApp s to schedule and manage events directly within private conversations. The report notes that it reduces the need for back-and-forth messaging by collating all necessary information in a single message.

WhatsApp s can make use of the events feature for personal as well as professional purposes including planning casual meetups, booking doctor appointments, organising business consultations, and setting payment reminders. s can specify locations for in-person meetings or attach audio/video call links for virtual interactions while creating an event. Recipients have the option to accept or decline invitations as well.
