A$AP Rocky has finally responded to Liam Gallagher calling him ‘WhatsApp Ricky’. READ MORE: Oasis live in Cardiff: a supersonic reunion for a new generation The Oasis icon first came out with the quip back in 2017, when he spoke to GQ about his then-upcoming solo album ‘As You Were’, and opened up about his kids’ music taste. “My kids fucking love grime music,” he said at the time, going on to share that he liked Stormzy and Skepta in particular. “They also like that bloke, WhatsApp Ricky. You know, the American geezer, stylish, funny, gold teeth,” he then added. When the journalist corrected him and asked if he meant A$AP Rocky, Liam responded: “Oh yeah, that’s the fella. WhatsApp Ricky. That’s a better fucking name anyway.” Now, nearly 10 years on, A$AP Rocky revealed that he came across the comments, and made light of it on a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. As part of his appearance on the US talkshow, the rapper took part in a lighthearted segment where he and the host raced to identify songs from just a brief snippet. After correctly guessing ‘Hey Ya!’ by OutKast and ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ by The

WhatsApp has unleashed a lockdown mode for your messages. The chat app, owned by Meta — the same parent company behind Instagram and Facebook, has released a brand-new Strict Account Settings feature to help keep your conversations much more private. WhatsApp described the new addition as an "extreme safeguard". When enabled, it's designed to give you the strongest possible defences against hackers, surveillance software, and governments. This lockdown mode will block incoming attachments, photos, and videos from anyone outside of your contacts. In its FAQ about the optional feature , WhatsApp states: "Strict account settings is an optional, lockdown-style security feature that, when enabled, reduces your vulnerability to cyber attack by limiting functionality. Your account is locked to more private settings and your chats with others outside your contacts will have limitations." Without these protections, if someone was able to access your messages, they could steal your personal information, impersonate you, drain your bank accounts, and more. Fraudsters are becoming increasingly sneaky when it comes to attempting to gain access, too. In fact, hackers have found a way to hijack your WhatsApp account without breaking authentication checks . A recent data breach also caused 149 million online accounts to leak

Share US authorities have reportedly investigated claims that Meta can read users’ encrypted chats on the WhatsApp messaging platform, which it owns. The reports follow a lawsuit filed last week, which claimed Meta “can access virtually all of WhatsApp users’ purportedly ‘private’ communications”. Meta has denied the allegation, reported by Bloomberg, calling the lawsuit’s claim “categorically false and absurd”. It suggested the claim was a tactic to support the NSO Group, an Israeli firm that develops spyware used against activists and journalists, and which recently lost a lawsuit brought by WhatsApp. Guardian An ally of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proposed a bill to ban social media for children, as the world’s biggest market for Meta and YouTube joins a global debate on the impact of social media on young people’s health and safety. “Not only are our children becoming addicted to social media, but India is also one of the world’s largest producers of data for foreign platforms,” lawmaker L.S.K. Devarayalu told Reuters on Friday. Reuters  At the height of the Cold War, US Air Force officials proposed a terrifying plan to help America demonstrate its superiority over the Soviet Union: detonating a nuclear bomb on the Moon. The top secret programme, Project A119, envisaged

US authorities have reportedly investigated claims that Meta can read users’ encrypted chats on the WhatsApp messaging platform, which it owns. The reports follow a lawsuit filed last week, which claimed Meta “can access virtually all of WhatsApp users’ purportedly ‘private’ communications”. Meta has denied the allegation, reported by Bloomberg, calling the lawsuit’s claim “categorically false and absurd”. It suggested the claim was a tactic to support the NSO Group, an Israeli firm that develops spyware used against activists and journalists, and which recently lost a lawsuit brought by WhatsApp. The firm that filed last week’s lawsuit against Meta, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, attributes the allegation to unnamed “courageous” whistleblowers from Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico and South Africa. Quinn Emanuel is, in a separate case, helping to represent the NSO Group in its appeal against a judgment from a US federal court last year, which ordered it to pay $167m to WhatsApp for violating its terms of service in its deployment of Pegasus spyware against more than 1,400 users. “We’re pursuing sanctions against Quinn Emanuel for filing a meritless lawsuit that was designed purely to grab headlines,” said Carl Woog, a Meta spokesperson, in a statement. “This is the

By Lewis Crofts and Nicholas Hirst ( January 30, 2026, 14:35 GMT | Insight) -- An Italian injunction against WhatsApp over a ban on rival AI chatbots over its platform should trigger EU-level intervention, the consumer group BEUC has said. The messaging platform is under a temporary Italian order to allow companies such as OpenAI and Perplexity to offer their agents over WhatsApp, but BEUC highlighted the risk of “further fragmentation” of the European market and has written to the European Commission to urge action.An Italian injunction against WhatsApp over a ban on rival AI chatbots over its platform should trigger EU-level intervention, the consumer group BEUC has said....

TechCrunch has recently announced that Meta is looking at testing subscription plans on WhatsApp, an app that has always been free. This isn’t limited to WhatsApp, because TechCrunch says Meta intends on adding premium services to its other platforms, Instagram and Facebook, as well. The goal here, apparently, is to bring more productivity and creativity to the platforms along with added AI features. How Has WhatsApp Managed To Stay Free For So Long? WhatsApp, like any other social platform, is a business. Many have wondered for all the years since its launch, how exactly the platform makes its money. Initially, WhatsApp positioned itself as an app with 1 year free service. Thereafter, users would pay. But that never happened. Users continued to enjoy the app for free. Usually, when apps are free, the company will monetise through ads. WhatsApp hasn’t done that either, until recently. On how WhatsApp had made its money, BBC reports that the service runs on large computer servers across data centres worldwide, which costs money, even for everyday chats. The app has billions of users around the world, and that scale is thanks to its parent company, which covers the heavy running costs. Money does not

ESET researchers have identified an Android spyware campaign that uses romance scam tactics to target individuals in Pakistan. The operation relies on a malicious app disguised as a chat service that routes conversations through WhatsApp. Behind the romance lure, the app’s primary function is to steal data from infected devices. ESET tracks the malware as GhostChat. GhostChat attack flow (Source: ESET) The same threat actor appears to be running a wider surveillance effort. This includes a ClickFix attack that compromises victims’ computers and a WhatsApp device-linking attack that provides access to victims’ WhatsApp accounts. These related activities relied on websites impersonating Pakistani government organizations as lures. Victims downloaded GhostChat from unofficial sources and installed it manually. The app was never available on Google Play, and Google Play Protect, which is enabled by default, blocks it. “This campaign employs a method of deception that we have not previously seen in similar schemes – fake female profiles in GhostChat are presented to potential victims as locked, with passcodes required to access them. However, as the codes are hardcoded in the app, this is just a social engineering tactic likely aimed to create the impression of exclusive access for the potential victims,” says
