## Key points

- WhatsApp invites will work for people without the app.
- Hosts can manage RSVPs, reminders and plus-ones in Events Home.
- Non-users see the address only after they RSVP.

## Summary

WhatsApp is rolling out event links that let people invite friends and family who do not use the app. Recipients can view event details through the link, which could make WhatsApp a more convenient option for organising gatherings alongside services such as Facebook.

A new Events Home will let users create and send invitations, manage RSVPs, set custom reminders and allow guests to bring a plus-one. Users can find past and upcoming events under Events in Settings. WhatsApp says it will not show a host’s phone number to guests they do not know, and guests without WhatsApp will see the event address only after replying to the invitation; the features are due to reach all users in the coming weeks.
