Home Technology WhatsApp tests new option to share recent group messages with new members WhatsApp is finally testing a long-requested feature that lets group admins decide whether new members should see recent chat history. The option is now live for a small set of beta users on iOS and Android, hinting at a wider rollout soon. Sarthak Singh January 24, 2026 / 09:13 IST WhatsApp WhatsApp tests feature for sharing recent chat history with new group members Share up to 100 messages from the past 14 days with new members. Feature is in beta on iOS and Android, with no confirmed public rollout date yet Did our AI summary help? WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows group members to selectively share recent chat history with newly added participants, addressing one of the platform’s most common usability gaps. The feature is currently available to a limited number of beta testers via TestFlight on iOS and through Android beta builds, according to WABetaInfo. At its core, the feature gives users control. When adding a new member to a group, WhatsApp now offers an option to share recent messages, rather than automatically dropping the person into the conversation without any context.

Vimeo has started laying off employees across its global operations, marking one of the first major changes since its acquisition by Italian technology group Bending Spoons. The job cuts were first reported by Business Insider and come less than a year after Bending Spoons acquired the video-hosting platform in an all-cash deal valued at $1.38 billion. While the exact number of affected employees has not been disclosed, Bending Spoons confirmed the layoffs, describing them as part of a broader restructuring effort. According to reporting by The Verge, the reductions are expected to impact a significant portion of Vimeo’s workforce. A former senior executive at Vimeo also indicated on LinkedIn that a “large portion of the company” had been affected by the move. TechCrunch has reached out to both Vimeo and Bending Spoons seeking additional details, but neither company has provided further clarification at the time of writing. Restructuring after Acquisition Founded in 2004, Vimeo has long positioned itself as a premium video platform focused on professional creators and businesses. However, the company has struggled to compete at scale in a market dominated by YouTube and other large video platforms. Over the years, Vimeo has repeatedly adjusted its strategy to find

"And, no, I’m not kidding. You can look me up."  Throughout the video, Chad explained he has received countless requests from his TikTok followers to "write a book on my story" but conceded he feels he is not a "very good writer" and does not want a third party telling his side of things.

Vimeo’s Decline and Latest Layoffs After Bending Spoons Takeover The latest round of job losses and massive cuts at video platform Vimeo implemented by serial asset stripper Bending Spoons leave it a shadow of its former self. Hard to believe that Vimeo was once considered a serious contender to YouTube. And even when that dream faded as Google money flooded in to its rival, it was still considered a credible alternative by the creative community that offered something different. Now in the latest round of job cuts it has been absolutely filleted by Italian private equity firm Bending Spoons. Sundance 2026 is in full swing at the moment. Once upon a time this would have been a central part of the Vimeo business. Indeed, it was the official sponsor of the Short Film Program. This year, nothing. The company might state on its front page that it is "Trusted by 287+ million creatives, marketers, and businesses", but you can bet that is a cumulative total based on its storied past, not its recent one with Bending Spoons. Modus Operandi Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo for $1.38bn in September 2025, and has been following its usual modus operandi of cutting costs and maximising revenue ever

The play lasted just nine seconds. Fourth down, the Bears trailed by 11, season on the line: Quarterback Caleb Williams drifted left, got knocked off his feet, and somehow managed to flick a perfect 27-yard pass between four Packers into the hands of receiver Rome Odunze.  Tim Jenkins kept replaying the video, switching among camera angles that didn’t air on the live broadcast. For his audience of more than 52,000 YouTube subscribers, he pointed out two crucial details.  First, Bears tight end Colston Loveland was wide open on the other side of the field and could’ve scored if Williams tossed him the ball instead. Second, Williams never got the chance to see Loveland, because he had to scramble away from the defense after Bears guard Jonah Jackson lunged out of position.  The 84-minute video analyzing this play and other key game moments is the kind of patient film study you’d find at a coaches’ roundtable or players’ session. It’s since garnered more than 42,000 views. The nuanced understanding makes sense for the 34-year-old Jenkins, a former pro football player who has turned his on-field IQ into All Things QB on YouTube. Jenkins’s own NFL moment lasted only one throw. In

"This is why we need Planned Parenthood, this picture right here." That comment on Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp's Facebook post of his family last Christmas has sparked a social media feud. Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp "I found that vile comment deeply out of step with the values of Hamilton County," Wamp wrote in a separate post screenshotting the comment. He also screenshotted a post from Former Vice Chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party Kathy Lennon's Facebook: Screenshot Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp "Now, we also see Democrat activists proudly training with Planned Parenthood for 2026 campaigns. Relying on Planned Parenthood for campaign training is a new low for the local Democratic Party." In a statement sent to Local 3 News, the Democratic Party responded. The organization said they are disappointed in his decision to "manufacture outrage on social media" rather than work for the county's good: "The County Mayor chose to elevate a vague,  » Read More
