WhatsApp users will be able to leave reactions to messages posted in channels. The appearance of a new function in the messenger is reported by the WABetaInfo portal.

With this feature, users will be able to send various reactions to posts. The list of reactions can be chosen by channel administrators. At the same time, it will be possible to leave them anonymously: users will be able to see only the number of ratings that this or that publication has scored. So far, the feature is available in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.23.19.4.

“The channel is a one-to-many communication model, so reactions are the only way for its creators and subscribers to interact,” WABetaInfo specialists noted, commenting on the innovation.

The appearance of channels in the messenger became known in June. According to the developers, this way of publishing information seems to them “the simplest, most reliable and confidential.”

“Sometimes we are not ready to be in front of the camera. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a third option between turning off the camera and activating the camera so that you feel more present when making a call? It’s time to use your Meta Avatar,” said Meta in his official statement, as quoted by TechCrunch , Wednesday (12/7/2023).

Judging from the short video shared by Metaverse VP Meta Vishal Shah, avatars for video calls on Instagram and Messenger are similar to Apple’s Memoji avatars on Facetime.

Meta also announced that users can now share animated avatar stickers on Instagram Stories and Reels, Facebook Stories and Reels, Facebook comments, and via DM on Messenger and Instagram. Users can submit avatars that perform movements such as waving, dancing, or clapping.

“Facebook Misled Parents and Failed to Protect Children’s Privacy on Messenger Kids, FTC Proposes Sweeping Changes in Privacy Order”

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com May 4, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

US regulators said Facebook misled parents and failed to protect the privacy of children using Messenger Kids, including misrepresenting the access it gave app developers to private user data.

As a result, the FTC proposed sweeping changes to its 2020 privacy order with Facebook that would prevent it from benefiting from the data it collects on users under the age of 18, including data collected through virtual reality products. According to the Associated Press.

The committee said that Facebook’s owner, Meta, had failed to fully comply with the 2020 privacy order. The company will also be subject to other restrictions, including its use of facial recognition technology, and will be required to provide additional privacy protections for its users.

“Facebook has repeatedly broken its promises on privacy,” said Samuel Levine, director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Consumer Protection. “The company’s recklessness puts younger users at risk, and Facebook needs to respond to its own failures.”

How to Use WhatsApp Business on Your Desktop: A Step-By-Step Guide

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com April 21, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Are you having more and more chats with your customers via WhatsApp Business? With just a few clicks you can continue this on the desktop.

The use of the messenger on the desktop is particularly interesting for users of WhatsApp Business. Because those who use the application for business purposes to communicate with their customers usually send more messages than private users. With a monitor and a keyboard, working with the messenger is more comfortable.

How to use WhatsApp Business with the desktop client

Like the web application, the WhatsApp desktop client for the PC can be used not only with the regular version of the messenger, but also with its business version. So there is no need to download a special WhatsApp Business application for the desktop.

Desktop system users with a recent version of Windows 10 or 11 can find the WhatsApp client in the Microsoft Store. After you have downloaded, installed and started it, you can connect to your account with the following steps:

Launch WhatsApp Business on your smartphone.
If you’re using an iPhone, tap Settings, then tap Linked Devices. On Android, you can find this option in the menu that you open via the three dots in the top right.
Select “Add device” and authenticate when the app prompts you.
Scan the QR code that WhatsApp Desktop shows you.

Once connected, you can continue chatting on your WhatsApp Business account from the desktop without needing physical access to your phone.

How to deregister unused devices

For security reasons, it is worth disconnecting systems that you no longer use. To do this, find the Linked Devices menu mentioned in Step 2 and tap the computer you want to remove. Select “Logout” to disconnect.

If you still have access to the desktop system that you want to log out of, you can also disconnect from your WhatsApp Business account from there.

To do this, click on the gear icon in WhatsApp Desktop to go to the settings. In the “General” area you will see the “Log out” button at the bottom.
