Vasin Lee/Shutterstock Usernames have been part of the everyday online experience for decades, but until this year, WhatsApp ignored them. You authenticate in the world's most popular chat app with your phone number, which also secures your account. But since Meta added email support to WhatsApp, the company is finally moving forward with a username initiative that some people may like. Meta will let you associate a username with your phone number this year, a feature that should improve privacy. Instead of sharing your number with strangers for new WhatsApp chats, you can give them your username. Before the feature rolls out, Meta is letting WhatsApp users reserve their desired username, a process that is available on both iOS and Android. Android and iPhone users can start securing their alias from a notification they may see in the app. The alternative is to open the app's settings and go through the username reservation process, which is identical on either smartphone operating system. Usernames are optional, and WhatsApp will continue to support phone numbers just like before. However, those who want to protect their mobile contact information and secure a specific username will want to act fast, as there will be significant competition over common names

YouTuber Valkyrae has spoken out strongly about streamer Nina Lin, saying she believes Nina should not be allowed back on Twitch after a series of controversies. During a livestream discussion, Valkyrae reacted to Nina Lin’s recent return to the platform and said she was shocked that the suspension was so short. She pointed to multiple past incidents, including sexual assault allegations involving creators DisguisedToast and Said, as well as Nina’s recent arrest in New York. According to Valkyrae, these repeated situations show a pattern of behavior that should have led to a permanent ban instead of a temporary suspension. Valkyrae believes Nina Lin should never return to Twitch over repeated controversies During her stream, Valkyrae expressed confusion over Twitch’s decision to allow Nina Lin back on the platform. She said she could not understand how someone with multiple serious accusations and incidents could return so quickly after being suspended. One of the situations she referred to involved allegations from a 2025 creator event where DisguisedToast said he felt uncomfortable during an encounter with Nina Lin. It was claimed that Nina interrupted him during a massage and made unwanted physical contact, which later sparked online discussion about consent and behavior at

The judge also said it was undisputed that Meta did ‌not comply with ​that law's notice and ​parental ​consent requirements, and granted ‌summary judgment to the ​states on ​that issue.

Israeli troops are operating in a self-declared “security zone” stretching around 10 kilometers (six miles) deep inside Lebanese territory along the border JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, vowing that his country’s forces would stay in the area as long as Iran-backed Hezbollah remained a “threat.” His comments came after Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement under US sponsorship last week to pave the way for peace between them and disarm Hezbollah. The deal makes any Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese land conditional on Beirut disarming Hezbollah by creating “pilot zones” that the Lebanese military will take over. “Our position is clear: we will not leave southern Lebanon until the threat has disappeared. And as long as Hezbollah, armed, is here and threatening us, we will stay here,” Netanyahu said according to a statement from his office. He added that “we say to Iran and to Hezbollah: leave this place, you no longer belong here… There are two sovereign states that want to live in peace.” Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the Middle East war in March with rocket fire at Israel, triggering Israeli airstrikes and a ground invasion.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – A total of 124 University of Kentucky student-athletes were named to the 2026 Southeastern Conference Spring Academic Honor Roll as announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on Tuesday. The 2026 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll includes the sports of baseball, men’s golf, women’s golf, softball, STUNT, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s track and field and women’s track and field. All numbers are based on academic grade point averages from the 2025 Summer, 2025 Fall and 2026 Spring terms. Stunt led the way with 47 selections this spring, followed by 20 for women’s track and field and 16 for baseball. Among other criteria, a student-athlete must maintain a grade point average of 3.00 or above during the academic year to receive honor roll status. Earlier this year, University of Kentucky Athletics announced that the department had surpassed its goal of a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average for the 28th consecutive semester.  All 23 varsity programs achieved a 3.0 team GPA or higher in the spring. UK Athletics supports the academic success of its student-athletes through CATS – the first academic center of its kind dedicated solely to serving student-athletes. CATS is an important component of UK’s Student-Athlete Experience division

The Milan-based acquirer behind AOL, Evernote, Vimeo, and WeTransfer is set to debut on the Nasdaq under ticker BSP after pricing its IPO above its marketed $26 to $28 range, targeting a valuation of roughly $19 billion. The numbers Bending Spoons brought to Wall Street are not easy to dismiss. Revenue hit $1.31 billion in 2025, up 95% year over year. Q1 2026 came in at $601 million, more than double the $259 million it posted in the same quarter a year earlier. The company swung from a $112 million net loss to $27.5 million in net profit in a single year. Revenue per full-time employee more than doubled to $2.6 million. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Allen and Company are running the books. Demand for shares came in at multiples of the offer, and the company priced above range. If you're looking for a deal that Wall Street is clearly excited about, this is it. But the question worth asking before the opening bell Wednesday is whether any of this is actually new, or whether Bending Spoons has built a genuinely defensible business model, or is simply the best-run version of a very old trade. CEO Luca Ferrari calls the
