Key Points:
- Organized Replies: WhatsApp started creating responses to the announcements messages earlier to help admins give and understand messages content between them and their group members.
- Event Organization: Users will now be able to hold events inside messenger groups giving more structure and detailed tracking to the audience. Group members can RSVP to the event anytime by clicking “Add to Calendar.” Chats and reminders will be sent closer to the event date.
- Gradual Rollout: At the beginning, WhatsApp holds these features exclusively for Community groups, but will later give all groups this opportunity.
The WhatsApp platform strives to improve the user experience and the way communication within the Community and groups occurs. Hence, WhatsApp has a set of new features that are part of that solution. Within all the updates the main one was a new type of organized replies which could be considered as important progress. It was easy for administrators to follow the replies and see what everyone thought in a structured manner which somehow made the group more facile to understand and get engaged in group messages.
Furthermore, the community’s added penchant for event creation functions has come forth, and users can now hold and run attend to their events within the groups. These two functions, namely, organization process as well as coordination, are accomplished and enhanced since the meetings become action-oriented and people are more involved. With guests being invited to the group, they can ‘save the date’ and get into the festive spirit with timely notifications about the event being sent to them in preparation.
Privacy issues are one of the most important downsides of the latest WhatsApp function that allows distinguishing between regular chat groups and those that require strict privacy protection. Regarding this feature, WhatsApp has solemnly promised its users that similar features will be gradually rolled out to other WhatsApp groups soon.
This aspect of an ongoing quest for excellence is a clear demonstration of WhatsApp’s intent to deliver user satisfaction by providing a single platform for communication experience. We are going to see more and more new features developed to facilitate interactions within Communities and groups.
