It's been 4+ months since it has been spotted and there have been a lot of things changed since then as WhatsApp continues to make changes to the event creation feature. I am going to share what has changed in these months. Before I dive into the details here are some useful purpose of the event creation feature (in short) - </p><p></p><ul><li>Schedule video/audio calls in groups/communities for discussion about anything like a meeting or just getting in touch with various family members.</li><li>Schedule other plans such as going to somewhere on a trip with family or hundreds of other purposes with location and list of attendees.</li><li>Can be used for reminder purpose in groups chats/communities.</li></ul><p></p>

<h3>1. It's not limited to groups in communities only</h3><p>Initially it was said (vaguely) that the event creation feature may be available to groups in communities only. From what I could see in the internal digging and enabling the feature myself, events can be created in standalone groups as well, having the group in a community is not necessary. Here is a screenshot of the event creation option in a standalone group - </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzlQHSwouy9tY2_kEiM_NLrO6PBgwmyY8LIJmrxvksZLRgFdtaoLlqKoG3fyBFmiWbeJ5Pu1eW0IgN5uzUYs868EYXBXUxVghuBh2b_0Ah4NMd1zkPaXjm9km3fVjF6QdOcevOZLyHqjT/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433365480.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1223" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzlQHSwouy9tY2_kEiM_NLrO6PBgwmyY8LIJmrxvksZLRgFdtaoLlqKoG3fyBFmiWbeJ5Pu1eW0IgN5uzUYs868EYXBXUxVghuBh2b_0Ah4NMd1zkPaXjm9km3fVjF6QdOcevOZLyHqjT/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433365480.png" width="250"></a></div>

<h3>2.  It's not just video calls</h3>
<p> When the event feature was initially spotted, the screenshot shared by WaBetaInfo showed that only video calls can be scheduled in the event. WhatsApp now has added the option to create voice calls. Turning on the "Whatsapp call link" will show a dialogue where you can choose between a video and voice call. This is a great way to schedule both types of calls. WhatsApp was <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/technology/whatsapp-to-allow-scheduling-calls-in-group-chats-what-is-the-feature-101691699312018.html" target="_blank">spotted</a> working on a "Schedule call" feature previous year but as far as I know, I don't have the feature myself and was never rolled out. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroD1DLpFRTV7GTXGKuK5iRhzM7eF4idTwQxWut9-Ne6qDCHpHM3xHldwVmxwra2vcMpUuDM23OT6qKgPD_ZtiCAmqRCxM2ahreKwIAnAuB_5axyRG4x4hZX5_a9u7hyphenhyphencbzZ5_yLaT_fqy/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433657782.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1223" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroD1DLpFRTV7GTXGKuK5iRhzM7eF4idTwQxWut9-Ne6qDCHpHM3xHldwVmxwra2vcMpUuDM23OT6qKgPD_ZtiCAmqRCxM2ahreKwIAnAuB_5axyRG4x4hZX5_a9u7hyphenhyphencbzZ5_yLaT_fqy/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433657782.png" width="250"></a></div>

<h3>3.  Edit an event, because the plans have changed </h3>
<p> There are always chances of things getting changed after we create an event, like a date or location. The edit event option will allow you to make whatever changes you want in an already created event. You can change the title, description, date, location and other things. Once edited, all attendees of the event will be notified of the event update. You will also see an "edited" text, just like when we edit messages in WhatsApp. Only the person who created the event will be able to edit it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2tv1khAH1ikRHNjkmHR7ycecxYfX2-Ax49s79WWQhLoPrc0n535yHBroncmFwI0KmPiz3QKDsBA1jDa-dEfnY7UFf9_93CAaKixWA_VGz_uRZS0tg2OjOq2nx1F0y9uW7VvUYIr8dbKL/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433819358.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1223" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2tv1khAH1ikRHNjkmHR7ycecxYfX2-Ax49s79WWQhLoPrc0n535yHBroncmFwI0KmPiz3QKDsBA1jDa-dEfnY7UFf9_93CAaKixWA_VGz_uRZS0tg2OjOq2nx1F0y9uW7VvUYIr8dbKL/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711433819358.png" width="250"></a></div>

<h3>4. See all events in group info</h3>
<p>There may be various events created by different people in groups and may be scattered here and there in the group and may be hard to find or you have to scroll up and down to find it. So the solution is that all the events which are created in the group will appear in the group information page in a horizontal sliding way. There is an additional "Upcoming" button, tapping on which opens a new page with a list of all events showing them in ascending order based on the date of the event.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwSKXTuatKwZHmaiedeHRHV23c8iU5FPF1AynGEocrQOUge5Vw6w6Zg4kMOhA_nD67R1Ze_09XDorqDpv08VnCCA4do8JPNWEBhxrEf-ap4OyipB7nnID3ZEnJNTVGo-3RH3l7VbVbVnQ/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711434527520.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1548" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwSKXTuatKwZHmaiedeHRHV23c8iU5FPF1AynGEocrQOUge5Vw6w6Zg4kMOhA_nD67R1Ze_09XDorqDpv08VnCCA4do8JPNWEBhxrEf-ap4OyipB7nnID3ZEnJNTVGo-3RH3l7VbVbVnQ/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711434527520.png" width="372"></a></div>

<h3>5. Users can respond to events if they want to join</h3>
<p> What's the point of event creation if people can't even respond to an event if they are going to join it, right?  WhatsApp will allow you to join events. The event will show the number of people who are going to the event and additionally if you tap the event card, it will also show the names of people who will be joining and who haven't responded to the event joining.</p>

<h3>6. Get reminders for events and add events to calendar </h3>
<p>WhatsApp is going to fully utilize the "Alarms & reminders" permission of Android to send reminders of the event to attendees. You have to grant this permission only once. It asked me to grant permission when I created the event for the first time. Once the permission is granted you will likely be reminded of the event at the time which is set in the event. I tried to test the feature but it seems like it's still work in progress and WhatsApp didn't send me any notification or reminder. The other thing is that you can add these events to your device's calendar app as well. The event detail page shows the "add to calendar" option just below the date. Additional things include a "view on map" link if you set an event location and option to copy video/voice calls link.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHfa_QWS-Xdykib6mFUCYcqrxpg39bC8bjpMj9xzvWUJZz-bLFUk2YxFyT0AWpAZmWE4cyJz47oz0EB2Ay3M5-uBnOTX78C2-dbwvoi-xydcpigfE0zsm-iA_I28IM9eYlbj7oFyBPfaM/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711434966147.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1223" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHfa_QWS-Xdykib6mFUCYcqrxpg39bC8bjpMj9xzvWUJZz-bLFUk2YxFyT0AWpAZmWE4cyJz47oz0EB2Ay3M5-uBnOTX78C2-dbwvoi-xydcpigfE0zsm-iA_I28IM9eYlbj7oFyBPfaM/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711434966147.png" width="250"></a></div>
<h3>7. No one likes cancelling plans, but it happens</h3>
<p>You will have the option to cancel an event as well. You will see the "Cancel event" in the red text in the event detail page. It will confirm if you want to cancel it and once confirmed the event will show up as "Event cancelled" in the group chat.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOuc7BgRKLhn6GbFOvCnh6draeb7nMjk3X_FK4K7xoeAsaVf_2-y8UmmDLAxZ1dbmzBIRWAOAaHdPSFkigcBTSDHJOCio34jonVAMrNEEIco8ENFnCDf3AQyw42c4ZzLmvBEM8mRjWW9-/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711435328019.png"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1223" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOuc7BgRKLhn6GbFOvCnh6draeb7nMjk3X_FK4K7xoeAsaVf_2-y8UmmDLAxZ1dbmzBIRWAOAaHdPSFkigcBTSDHJOCio34jonVAMrNEEIco8ENFnCDf3AQyw42c4ZzLmvBEM8mRjWW9-/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711435328019.png" width="250"></a></div>

<p>So basically this is everything I have noticed which wasn't shared before about the event creation feature of WhatsApp. There could be more changes before it's released but from we could see, this is everything a user need. As a bonus I am attaching a video of the feature to give a closer look at the event creation process and other things -</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/knlMCvOc8kc" width="320" youtube-src-id="knlMCvOc8kc"></iframe></div><br><p>Well, that's all about it.

Many people have two or more Google Accounts on their Android phones. Google Messages easily allows switching between these accounts. Google also allows to use Google Messages without an account, but previously it didn't warn users what functionality they could lose if they use it without an account.<div><br></div><div>Google Messages in beta has been quietly rolling a new change which notifies users about what features will not work if they sign out. It also notifies users when they switch accounts because some features are account based. I have the feature enabled in my Google Messages already. Here are some screenshots - </div><div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5hkJh9KpNU5zBgIveYakg2PORskeWc9pIavgOThgjGQoast0ZbVLutNImfOQSwE03JmGd-L0cAzq5eqH3Rgk8d7VWj36RDf1BXa40TuPD-fBbXh4AUmhGrzHyAQ6qhRVv9NmsBDZOfTdX/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711417070970.png" imageanchor="1"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="2400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5hkJh9KpNU5zBgIveYakg2PORskeWc9pIavgOThgjGQoast0ZbVLutNImfOQSwE03JmGd-L0cAzq5eqH3Rgk8d7VWj36RDf1BXa40TuPD-fBbXh4AUmhGrzHyAQ6qhRVv9NmsBDZOfTdX/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711417070970.png" width="320"></a></div><br><br></div>As you can see in the screenshot, when you tap the "Use without a Google account" option in the account switcher of Google Messages, you will see first screen which show that - "<b>Not available when you sign out - Magic Compose and Device pairing"</b>. You will lose both features as they require a Google Account to work. Additionally there is also an option for users who have profile discovery feature enabled in their Google accounts. It says "<b>Stop profile discovery for this number (recommended)</b>" and is enabled by default. You can uncheck it if you still want to be discovered through profile discovery feature which will allow other users to see your profile picture and name. </div><div><br></div><div>But turning off this option has also some trade-offs as it says in the screenshot that "<b>People who know your phone number may not be able to find you in Google products and services</b>". So the choice is yours. The screen in second screenshot appears when you switch between Google accounts in Google Messages. It just warns about losing two features - Magic Compose & Device pairing. Both feature seems to be account dependent so it's possible that they may not be available in your other account if you switch account.</div><div><br></div><div>This feature seems be available already for some people who use the latest Google Messages beta which have been already started rolling out this week. </div><div><br></div>

There were only two tools named - Backdrop and Restyle. Restyle tool worked by using taking a user input or prompt such as <i>watercolor</i> or <i>magazine collage, </i>and the tools then generated an existing image based on those tools. The backdrop tool also utilises a text prompt and changes the background of the image. WhatsApp only recieved the AI based sticker generation feature.<div><br></div><div>But seems like Whatsapp will also recieve those AI based image editing tools. In the latest beta version of WhatsApp (2.24.7.13), I was able to make the feature appear. Here is a single screenshot of the feature - </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTq-BI8Wouu62NeokMFZAZh8B1nc7V_ueFQp9dtBfPFgPPsK5jq0JEmZ_NmIunmsiNECxDeXw2TvxWvGH_02j5Fvtmdof4hju7eO0W77BUn1eiKb46QdGogtfVvdai53ptmj2EhOImd1Bj/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711111807251.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="1215" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTq-BI8Wouu62NeokMFZAZh8B1nc7V_ueFQp9dtBfPFgPPsK5jq0JEmZ_NmIunmsiNECxDeXw2TvxWvGH_02j5Fvtmdof4hju7eO0W77BUn1eiKb46QdGogtfVvdai53ptmj2EhOImd1Bj/s1600/IMG_ORG_1711111807251.jpeg" width="225"></a></div><br>The new sparkle icon for image editing appears when attaching images in chats and posting images in status updates. Tapping the sparkle icon shows three option named - Backdrop, Restyle and Expand. You have already read about the Backdrop and Restyle tool, the third one - Expand, is likely a new tool which will allow you to expand images. Using AI to expand images beyond their visible area is not new and there various websites which provide such services. So it will be cool to see it in a social app like Whatsapp. </div><div><br></div><div>Currently these three tools don't work in WhatsApp, tapping on them does nothing. So they might be still a work in progress. The features which meta announced in December were only available to US users. So it will be interesting to see if meta can bring these tools to it's million of WhatsApp users outside the US.</div><p>Well, that's all about it.

Google Keep is great app for taking notes, making lists and setting reminders. While it may not be the perfect note taking app, it keeps adding testing and adding new feature, <i>very slowly</i>. The Ai based list generation feature and a quick shortcut on lockscreen to take notes has been in works from some months.
</p><p>In addition to above things, Google also seems to test a new bottom toolbar which might replace the old toolbar for quick notes creation. The feature has been spotted by Danyil Kobzar and enabled it with a flag which he shared on his Telegram <a href="https://t.me/gmsflags_content" title="">channel</a>. I was also able to test the feature on my phone and here is how it looks as compared to the older toolbar - </p>

<p>As you can see in the second screenshot, this toolbar looks similar to floating toolbar which Google has recently <a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/google-chat-busy-redesign-on-android/" target="_blank" title="">rolled out in the Google Chat</a> app. The new toolbar in Google Keep only has three button - to take a note, to create a list and create a drawing/picture note. The voice button and picture button is removed. </p><p>I am not sure what's the actual point of removing the two buttons but I can just guess both of these things can still be accessed inside the note by tapping the plus sign on bottom left. The new toolbar also takes less space in landscape mode and shows more content area. The plus button has a nice animation when we tap it to create a new note.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhR1Pjk7MukzS0Vo4UtC7IqDXI-ArkZ0LXeMPXKdWG3Uj69cCFMQN6X67gYRf7jNBQP0IOvlPZLFR1TyoSay1tLM09Lw7CFsupv_WghKo2JZDiaCK8A9wsMFUrLfHfsnYuhwakwnL-R_R/s1600/IMG_ORG_1710989962380.png" imageanchor="1"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="2400" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhR1Pjk7MukzS0Vo4UtC7IqDXI-ArkZ0LXeMPXKdWG3Uj69cCFMQN6X67gYRf7jNBQP0IOvlPZLFR1TyoSay1tLM09Lw7CFsupv_WghKo2JZDiaCK8A9wsMFUrLfHfsnYuhwakwnL-R_R/s1600/IMG_ORG_1710989962380.png" width="400"></a></div><p>Yes, they should fix the black bar.

WhatsApp is finally bringing voice message transcription on Android just an year after iOS

</div><p>WhatsApp on iOS supports voice message transcription since almost a year. It was rolled back to iOS users in May 2023. Apps like Google Messages and Telegram already supports this feature on Android. The feature is free to use in Google Messages and it is kinda paid for telegram users. I think Telegram only allows <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/telegram-update-voice-transcription-similar-channels-3390468/" title="">two voice message transcripts a week</a> if you are not a premium user.</p><p>Anyway, WhatsApp is finally catching up with other apps and with the latest beta version of WhatsApp 2.24.7.7, they started working on it and an APK teardown reveals some strings which hints at this feature. Here are some strings - </p><blockquote>• To enable transcripts, 150mb of new app data will be downloaded.<br>• Enable<br>• Read before you listen with transcripts<br>• "WhatsApp uses your device's speech recognition to provide end-to-end encrypted transcripts. Learn more"<br>• Turn on transcripts</blockquote><div><p>So according to the strings, it first need to download 150mb of data which will be necessary for it to work. It will use the device's speech recognition system to provide the end-to-end encrypted transcripts which means the feature will not affect the encryption process. </p><p>This option will likely be available under the Settings > Chats, just like on iOS, whenever it is rolled out. This is still in work and may appear for beta users of WhatsApp anytime. I personally didn't have any luck enabling it so there are no screenshots.</p><p>For more such leaks you can join my telegram channel - <a href="https://t.me/GappsLeaks" title="">Gapps Flags & Leaks</a> or follow me on <a href="https://x.com/AssembleDebug" title="">Twitter/X</a></p></div></div>

It sounds good and I am sure a lot of people do this thing already in Google Drive and our device storage as well. As we all know, not everyone is same and they keep files here and there and when they need it, they look in folders or just search them. The other thing - for example, is that I have a file that has some content which belongs to two or three different categories. I know you I can put in one folder and create a shortcut for that file in two other folders. But that's time consuming. </p><p>I am sure this new feature in Google Drive may not solve all your file management miseries but it can make it easier to find files which you need to find easily.</p><h3>Introducing "Categories"</h3><p>Google is working on this "Categories" feature. I <a href="https://twitter.com/AssembleDebug/status/1750182909267591626?s=19" title="">spotted this feature in January</a> but I was not completely sure if it's something Google Drive already have for users (specifically workspace users). As it turned out, this is a completely new feature which will not be limited to workspace users. The continuous addition of new code in Google Drive's Android app related to Categories feature indicates toward it. It will be available to personal account users. This feature basically allows you to put a specific file in different categories. Google workspace users have this 'labels' feature where an admin can create labels and users can apply these labels to files. Here is a <a href="https://youtu.be/skhjP1hqQ40" title="">video about labels</a>. The "Categories" feature is kinda similar but it's not limited to workspace users. Here is a quick look at the screenshots of the feature in Google Drive's Android app.</p><table align="center">

<h3>Which Categories btw?</h3><p>Google Drive will let you select from 12 categories. Here are they - </p><div><ol><li>Auto</li><li>Banking</li><li>Expenses</li><li>Home</li><li>IDS</li><li>Insurance</li><li>Medical</li><li>Pets</li><li>School</li><li>Taxes</li><li>Travel</li><li>Work</li></ol></div>
<h3>How it's going to work?</h3><p>According to the changes which I have spotted in the Android app, Google Drive will put all the categories on the "<b>Home</b>" tab. This will make it easier to jump into specific categories. We can put files into categories by tapping the 3 dots icon which is given in front of every file. The 3 dots option opens the context menu and here you will have a "<b>Manage Categories</b>" option. Tapping it opens the categories list and here you can select one or multiple categories in which you want the file to appear. The second screenshot above gives us a hint of the categories section. That screen with "categories" shows up while force stopping and launching Google Drive app again, but as soon as the app is loaded the "Categories" section disappears because it's work in progress.</p><h3>Availability</h3><p>This feature will come for Android, iOS and Web. I know I found it in Android, but Google will make it available on iOS and Web as well, otherwise what's the point of such feature if it's not synced between different platforms. The feature is currently in work and it won't come very soon. Google has recently rolled out an advance search filter feature on iOS which I <a href="https://thespandroid.blogspot.com/2023/10/Google-drive-.html" title="">found in the Android version of Google Drive previous year in October</a>, it is not released publicly on Android yet. So this category feature might be launched on iOS first and we have to wait a month or two before it gets rolled out to Android, which honestly sucks.</p>
