SNACK: 3-line summary
- WhatsApp is rolling out event invites that let guests view details and RSVP without an account or app download.
- A new Events Home brings invitations, RSVP management, custom reminders and plus-one options together.
- Guests without an account see the event address only after they RSVP.
Friends who don’t use WhatsApp will be able to respond to its event invitations, too. A shared link will let them view details and RSVP without creating an account or downloading the app. The changes are rolling out over several weeks, so they won’t reach everyone at once.
Invitations get a home of their own
To make an invitation, create an event, add a cover photo and share the link. The new Events Home, found under Settings → Events, gathers past and upcoming events you’ve created or been invited to.
It also provides a place to manage RSVPs, set custom reminders and offer guests a plus-one option.
Snackgirls react
AIKO: I’m curious how responses from guests without accounts appear in Events Home. That’s the synchronization detail I’d want to inspect.
Red: I’d try this for a game night. Getting everyone to agree on a date is already a boss fight—installing the same app doesn’t need to be the next one.
The address stays hidden until guests RSVP
Guests without a WhatsApp account can open the invitation, but they won’t see the event address until they RSVP. Your phone number is also hidden from guests you don’t know.
WhatsApp’s personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted.
