Two different things sit in the same tab. Here's how to tell them apart.
The short version
Plans are casual, friend-made hangouts. Events are ticketed, third-party shows and gatherings. Currently puts both in the same place because the question — what's happening? — applies to both.
Side-by-side comparison
| Plans | Events | |
|---|---|---|
| Made by | You and your friends | Event organizers (via Allevents) |
| Cost | Free | Often paid (tickets) |
| Examples | Watching a movie, playing cricket, going to brunch | Anubhav Singh Bassi live, music festival, comedy show |
| Joining | Tap I'm in or request approval | Tap Book Now to buy a ticket |
| Group chat | Yes — automatic when you join | No — large public events don't have a group chat |
| Who can see | Public (everyone) or Private (people you choose) | Public — anyone can find and book |
| Attendees | Up to a max you set (or unlimited) | Often thousands — 102K+ people are going |
How to tell them apart in the feed
On the Plans tab, you'll see two pill buttons at the top: Event and Plans. Tap either to filter the feed. Within the feed itself:
- Plans show friend avatars at the bottom (e.g.,
03/05 - Joining) and let you Plan together, Join us, or see Going. - Events show a big public attendee count (e.g.,
102K+ Joining), no friend avatars, and a Book Now button instead of Join.
Why both in one tab? Whether you're making plans with friends or grabbing tickets to a show, you're answering the same question — "what should I do tonight?" Currently keeps both options together so you can decide on the spot.
