How to create an event and reminder
Share an event in a chat and get a reminder before it starts.
- Open the chat and tap the attachment icon beside the message box.
- Tap Event.
- Enter a Title and a start date and time.
- Optionally add an end time, location, and description.
- Choose when to be reminded: None, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before.
- Tap Send.
- Open the chat and tap the + button beside the message box.
- Tap Event.
- Enter a Title and a start date and time.
- Optionally add an end time, location, and description.
- Choose when to be reminded: None, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before.
- Tap Send.
The event appears as a card in the chat for everyone to see. The reminder is a notification scheduled on your own device at the time you chose - it is private to you, is not sent to other participants, and does not need an internet connection to fire.
