Instant messaging platform WhatsApp announced the start of testing the community group chat event duration feature on the experimental WhatsApp version for Android /2.24.17.11/.
Using this feature, community group members will be able to create events with specific start and end times, along with a location and a WhatsApp call link for them, WABetaInfo reported. Choosing the duration of events is particularly useful as it helps participants better manage their schedules, by knowing the exact time frame of the event.
This feature will expand the ability to create and manage events for community advertising groups in the future, providing better centralized access to event information for larger communities.
This feature will be useful for events that require preparation or follow-up, as participants can allocate appropriate time for these tasks. In addition, setting a duration helps keep events organized and timed, ensuring that they start and end as planned.
