2026-11-06 · 1 source · Business Standard Budget

In short

WhatsApp now lets users invite people to events with shareable links, even if those people do not use the app. It also lets users track RSVPs, send reminders, and manage upcoming gatherings from a new Events Home section.

This makes it easier to plan events inside WhatsApp and for invited people to reply without installing the app.

Why it matters

WhatsApp has added event-invite features that let users share links with non-users, collect RSVPs, send reminders and manage gatherings from a new Events Home section. The change affects WhatsApp users and the people they invite, since responses can be made without downloading the app.
