WhatsApp is also enhancing communication within "Announcement Groups" – a feature similar to channels in apps like Slack or Discord. Now, members can reply directly to announcements, fostering better engagement and feedback. These replies are minimized and the chat remains muted, ensuring important announcements aren't lost in a flood of notifications.
The events feature is rolling out first to groups within WhatsApp Communities, with plans to expand to all groups in the coming months. WhatsApp Communities offers a dedicated space for larger groups, complete with separate chat threads, admin controls, and announcement capabilities. This latest event feature takes advantage of WhatsApp's existing 32-person video calling functionality, allowing participants to seamlessly jump into a call without the hassle of individual invites.
