  1. Events can only be hosted by one member. It’s not currently possible to have a co-host.
  2. If Disappearing messages is turned on, you might not be able to create events in advance. To use the full calendar, turn Disappearing messages off.
  3. You can't invite people who aren’t in the group to the event. You also can't forward an event to another chat.
