WhatsApp Pinned Events Feature: Latest Details
The best advantage of the WhatsApp Pinned Events feature on WhatsApp Community is that admins don't need to create a pinned event. The feature will automatically understand when a planned event is shared by an admin within one of the groups in the community.
The feature will automatically pin the event in the community description for users to remember the details. This update is particularly useful for WhatsApp Communities that have several groups and are extremely active with a lot of messages being shared.
You will not miss the event if it is automatically pinned by the social media platform.
Once you tap on the pinned event, you will get more information about whether it's a scheduled call or a reminder for any event. This brand-new feature will help users save time and also ensure that they don't skip any important events planned by the WhatsApp Community admins.
Usually, people have to scroll through a lot of messages or use the search function to find an event, however, the new feature will save you from making this effort.
One should note that the feature is only rolling out for WhatsApp Beta users on Android. It is believed that the update will be available to more users in future.
