WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature for WhatsApp communities. As reported by WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned platform is working on a new pinned events section for community group chats.
As per the report, WhatsApp is currently in the process of developing a feature that will automatically pin upcoming events to the top of the community info screen in a forthcoming app update.Anytime a community member creates a new event, it will be automatically showcased in this section, enhancing the ease with which everyone can stay informed about upcoming activities and engagements within the community.
“Whether it’s a scheduled event that includes a call or a simple reminder, the pinned events section ensures that this information is easily accessible and prominently displayed. In addition, we believe that pinning upcoming events at the top of the community info screen will be a significant time-saving feature for users,” mentions the report.
“Traditionally, users might have had to search for specific event details within each community group chat. This process can be time-consuming and might result in missed information. By having this information readily accessible without the need to open each community group chat individually, users will be able to efficiently stay informed about planned events in a very convenient manner,” the report adds.
WhatsApp may soon introduce Android-like nearby share feature
Recently, it was reported that WhatsApp may soon introduce Android-like nearby feature. According to the report, WhatsApp beta testers will soon have access to a feature allowing them to effortlessly share files using the “are” feature. As depicted in a screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp users must navigate to this section to send and receive files, ensuring secure sharing within a close range. To initiate a file exchange, users may need to shake their devices, establishing a controlled method for sharing files. It’s essential to highlight that the sharing process is safeguarded by end-to-end encryption, ensuring the security of shared files even when not within a WhatsApp chat or in an unfamiliar network setting.
