Events allows people share plans for concerts, poetry slams, plays, or other types events they are interested in attending.
"When you open Events, you can quickly catch up on new events your friends are interested in, recently-announced events by the Pages you like, and updates from events you're already connected to," Koolwal said.
Koolwal adds that more than 100 million people daily use Facebook's events section to discover activities they can take part in with friends.
Moreover, the application helps people browse for happenings based on location or interest, and to explore possible outing options with the aid of interactive maps.
