WhatsApp Updates Events Feature to Include Non-User Invitations and Centralized Management
WhatsApp has updated its Events feature to allow users to create and manage gatherings through a new Events Home section. This update enables users to invite people without WhatsApp accounts by sharing invitation links, which recipients can use to view event details and RSVP without downloading the app. The Events Home centralizes event management, including tracking responses, sending reminders, and supporting plus-one invitations. Privacy measures ensure organizers' phone numbers remain hidden from unknown guests, and event addresses are revealed only after RSVP confirmation.
