Whatsapp

The feature is expected to roll out to more users in the coming days Summary WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that allows users to send self-destructing voice messages, providing more privacy for sensitive conversations. The feature, currently available to beta testers, prevents recipients from forwarding, saving, recording, or exporting the voice note. While not officially available to all users yet, WhatsApp's track record suggests that this feature will eventually be widely implemented. Many privacy-driven instant messaging apps have rolled out some version of view-once messages. These allow users to send text and media that can only be opened once by the recipient. Of course, workarounds like screenshots can still be a concern depending on the app you’re using. However, it can provide some peace of mind, assuming you’re also exchanging messages with people you trust. Now, WhatsApp is rolling out this type of feature, specifically for voice messages sent on the app. WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.22.4 and WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.21.1.73 have given some beta testers the option to send self-destructing voice notes, as discovered by WABetaInfo. To see if it’s available in beta for you, a new view-once icon should appear in your

Santo Domingo.- President Luis Abinader has launched his official WhatsApp channel as part of his continuous efforts to establish direct and transparent communication with citizens. This initiative positions him as the first leader in the region and one of the pioneers globally to adopt this new function of the popular messaging application. A WhatsApp channel allows users to subscribe and receive direct messages from an entity or public figure. Unlike traditional chat, this channel enables the organized and direct dissemination of relevant information to a large number of subscribers. While subscribers cannot respond directly, this approach ensures fluid and clear communication. Throughout his tenure, President Abinader has maintained a strong commitment to engaging with the population through open dialogue and accessibility. Whether online or in person, his administration has prioritized being available to Dominicans, listening to their concerns, and collaborating to build a more prosperous and unified country. The implementation of this WhatsApp channel aligns with President Abinader’s vision of a modern, accessible administration that responds to the needs and expectations of today’s society. Interested individuals can subscribe to the official WhatsApp channel of President Luis Abinader via the provided link on his social media accounts. Link to President Abinader’s

Application security, Identity, Security Staff Acquisition & DevelopmentSC StaffOctober 17, 2023Passwordless passkey support will be deployed by WhatsApp to all users on Android devices in the coming weeks and months, just days after Google began passkey implementation by default, according to The Verge. "Android users can easily and securely log back in with passkeys. Only your face, fingerprint, or pin unlocks your WhatsApp account," said the Meta-owned messaging firm on X, formerly known as Twitter. No information on whether WhatsApp for iOS will also introduce passkey support was provided by Meta. WhatsApp's implementation of passkeys for more than 2 billion of its Android users is expected to better prevent potential compromise due to passwords stolen from phishing attacks or data breaches. Passwordless authentication through passkeys, which have been based on Web Authentication technology, has also been touted to be equally beneficial for individuals with robust passwords and those with poor cyber hygiene.RelatedKerberos to replace NTLM in Windows 11SC StaffOctober 16, 2023In a bid to strengthen authentication and security measures against relay attacks and unauthorized network access, Microsoft has confirmed that it will be using Kerberos in place of the NT LAN Manager in Windows 11, The Hacker News reports.Ransomware attack

Meta-owned WhatsApp is enhancing its log in process from passwords to facial recognition or fingerprint scanners. Previously, users on Android had to log in with a cumbersome and less secure SMS two-factor authentication. WhatsApp made the announcement on X (the former Twitter) that it was upgrading its security process to passkey, resulting in passwords being discontinued for all Android users. The feature follows the example of Google, which started asking users to create passkeys last week. Passkeys are being promoted from WhatsApp’s beta channel, where the process was tested, coming live soon to the Android app. As of now, support for WhatsApp passkeys has not been mentioned for iPhones, but Android support is rolling out over the coming weeks. With the addition of WhatsApp passkey, hopefully, its roughly two billion users will face less possible instances of hacking or data breaches disrupting their service.

WhatsApp users on Android can say goodbye to insecure and annoying SMS two-factor authentication. The Meta-owned company announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it’s rolling out support for a passwordless passkey feature to all Android users. The new security option allows WhatsApp users to use their device’s face, fingerprint, or pin security to unlock and access their accounts — following Google’s lead when it began prompting users last week to create passkeys.Passkeys were previously being tested by WhatsApp in its beta channel, but it’s now coming to regular users of the app on Android. We reached out to Meta about iOS compatibility, and while there’s no word yet on support for WhatsApp passkeys on iPhones, Android support will roll out over the coming weeks and months.With WhatsApp adding passkey support, it’s a small step on the road toward never having to memorize a password that could potentially be stolen in a data breach or compromised by phishing. That doesn’t mean WhatsApp’s 2 billion-plus users are completely protected from all digital threats, but it should help make things easier and more secure for both those who already have good password habits and those who still set their passwords to “12345.” (Strange
