CALIFORNIA: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is testing a new tool that will bar users from taking screenshots of media/messages that are marked as ‘view once’ content.

According to a report by WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp has started rolling out a new beta version 2.22.22.3 for the messaging platform on Android.

The new tool that prevent users from taking screenshot and screen recording for view once images and videos was available to some beta testers. The feature is expected to reach users soon.

How will this feature work?

As the name suggests, the View Once or Disappearing messages feature allows users to share photos or videos only once. When WhatsApp launched View Once, many users criticised it because people were taking screenshots of such messages.

is gradually making the edit button available for its paid subscribers in the United States, the social media company said on Thursday, days after launching the widely requested feature in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Twitter users have for years demanded the ability to edit their tweets after publishing them, mostly to fix errors such as typos.

However, Twitter and its observers have debated whether allowing tweets to be edited could lead to harmful effects, such as the spread of misinformation.

Subscribers who pay $4.99 per month for Twitter Blue will be able to edit their tweets “a few times” within 30 minutes of publication, Twitter said in September.

They currently have access to a feature that holds tweets for up to one minute, allowing users to review the tweet and “undo” it before the post is published.

Edited tweets will have an icon and timestamp to display when the post was last edited. Users will be able to click on the label of an edited tweet to view the edit history and previous versions of the post.

San Francisco-based Twitter is currently trying to reach an agreement after months-long litigation, with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who proposed to buy the social media company in a $44 billion deal earlier this year.

BUENOS AIRES: Argentina captain • Lionel Messi • on Thursday said that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will “surely” be the last of his career.

“It’s my last World Cup, surely. I feel good physically, I was able to do a very good pre-season this year, which I couldn’t do last year. It was essential to get to where I am, with a good state of mind and a lot of hope,” the 35-year-old told ESPN Argentina.

Messi, who is due to appear in his fifth World Cup, made his international debut in 2005 and has since won 164 caps for Argentina and is the country’s all-time record scorer with 90 goals.

In the interview, which took place in Paris where Messi plays for Paris Saint-Germain, he admitted he was nervous about the impending tournament.

“There is anxiety, nerves about the World Cup,” he said. “We can’t wait for it to start.”

Messi’s international debut as a substitute against Hungary in 2005 lasted just two minutes before he was sent off but he qu**ky established himself in the national team set-up and travelled to Germany for his first World Cup in 2006.

Elon Musk asked a US judge Thursday to suspend Twitter ’s lawsuit over their troubled takeover negotiations after the embattled social media company balked at the Tesla’s chief’s demand to freeze the litigation.

Musk’s request comes two days after the unpredictable billionaire revived his takeover plan, following an earlier withdrawal from the $44-billion transaction that prompted Twitter to file suit in Delaware court. The trial is scheduled to start on October 17.

Reports said Tuesday that Elon Musk offered to push through with his buyout of Twitter at the original agreed price, just weeks before the opening of a bitter court case over his effort to withdraw from the deal.

US media said the world’s richest man had sent a letter to Twitter vowing to honor the takeover price of $54.20 a share — prompting a surge in the share value of the social network that triggered a suspension of trading.

The latest twist in the long-running buyout saga comes less than two weeks before the start of the high-stakes trial instigated by Twitter in an effort to hold the Tesla chief to the $44 billion deal he signed in April.

SEOUL: North Korea fired two ballistic missiles on Thursday as it claimed its recent blitz of sanctions-busting tests were necessary countermeasures against joint military drills by the United States (US) and South Korea.

As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met to discuss Pyongyang’s Tuesday launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan, North Korea blamed Washington for “escalating the military tensions on the Korean peninsula”.

The recent launches — six in less than two weeks — were “the just counteraction measures of the Korean People’s Army on South Korea-US joint drills,” Pyongyang’s foreign ministry said in a statement Thursday.

Seoul, Tokyo and Washington have ramped up joint military drills in recent weeks, including large-scale naval manoeuvers and anti-submarine exercises.

Police in Mumbai said on Thursday they had detained one person from India’s eastern state of Bihar after threat calls to billionaire Mukesh Ambani ’s family that controls the telecoms-to-clothes Reliance Industries conglomerate.

In February last year, a car laden with explosives was found near the Ambani home. The purported owner of the vehicle was later found dead, with police treating his death as suspicious.

Reliance said a call centre run by a company foundation’s hospital received two phone calls on Wednesday threatening to blow up the hospital and kill Ambani, his wife Nita and sons Akash and Anant. The caller also threatened to blow up the Ambanis’ high-rise family residence Antilia in Mumbai.

The victims were identified as the baby, Aroohi Dheri, who was abducted along with her mother, Jasleen Kaur, 27, her father, Jasdeep Singh, 36, and the baby’s uncle, Amandeep Singh, 39.

The New Iphone 14 plus went on sale around the world including India on Friday, bringing a mid-range 6.7-inch iPhone model to the masses for the first time. Until now, the 6.7-inch screen size was limited to the high-end iPhone Pro Max, thus limiting the big-screen iPhone experience to Pro users. The iPhone 14 Plus joins the rest of the iPhone 14 lineup, which includes the standard iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

In India, which is slowly becoming Apple’s fastest-growing market in Asia, the iPhone 14 Plus starts at Rs 89,900. And if you want the larger 256GB and 512GB storage capacity, you will need to spend Rs 99,900 and Rs 119,900 respectively. The standard iPhone 14, on the other hand, starts at Rs 79,900. That makes it the least expensive 6.7-inch iPhone ever released, but it’s far from being affordable.
