Given the expected return of larger physical meet-ups once again in 2021, in the wake of the pandemic (fingers crossed), this could become a key addition for Snapchat in the second half of the year. Back in 2019, reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong uncovered a new feature within the Snapchat app code for 'Events', which would enable users to add event details into a sticker that they could then add to their Snaps, and invite their friends to join. It's taken some time in development - and was possibly shelved due to the pandemic and subsequent restrictions - but this week, Patent Drop has reported that Snapchat has indeed filed a new patent for its coming Events feature. Snapchat events would be activated via a sticker, which would include all of the relevant event information. The sticker could then be displayed in Snaps, while the details would also be listed on the Snap Map of those who are attending, along with the avatars of attendees. For the friends receiving the event invite, they’ll be able to join the event and chat with others attending. Finally, any photos or videos that are taken during the event will be automatically added to the group chat.
