(Image credit: Pexels / Torsten Dettlaff) WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging and voice/video applications in the world, announced that it's rolling out the option to send photos in HD quality. And according to Meta, videos will receive the same treatment later down the line.According to the announcement made through Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s broadcast channel on Instagram, “Sharing photos on WhatsApp just got an upgrade. Now you can send in HD.” The new feature will be rolled out worldwide over the next several weeks, with the option to send HD photos on Android, iOS, or the desktop version. Recipients will know it’s HD by the icon highlighted at the top of the screen.(Image credit: WABetaInfo)Photos from WABetaInfo (seen above) back when this feature was still in beta show how the formatting will look after it officially rolls out. When tapping the HD icon, two resolution options will appear: standard quality (1600 x 1052) and HD quality (4096 x 2692). And the HD images will still have the end-to-end encryption that WhatsApp is known for.Recipients can choose between keeping standard quality photos or upgrading to HD quality, which is a relief for those on slower connections. And for those

WhatsApp is adding support for HD photos in-stream, with users now able to choose whether they upload in regular or HD quality. As per the above explainer, the new option will provide another way to share images in your messages, with a “HD” logo appearing on uploaded visuals for those that have the option available, enabling you to control how your uploaded pictures appear. The optional process could be handy for those in low connectivity situations, or those on data plans, providing the capacity to upload in higher quality if they choose, while still enabling regular image sharing. Either way, both image types will still be subject to WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption defaults. Message recipients will also see a small “HD” icon on images that are shared in higher resolution from WhatsApp. It’s a handy update, which could significantly improve the WhatsApp user experience, though it will also start filling up your device memory pretty quick if you’re sending and receiving a lot of HD images. Meta says that the new option will be rolled out to users over the next few weeks, on Android, iOS, and the web, while Meta also notes that it’s also working on HD video support

In an era where technological marvels seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, even the innocuous WhatsApp voice note has taken on a sinister guise as cybercriminals exploit generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to clone voices. AI is both an exciting new frontier and terrifying untested waters. The idea of manipulating voices in not far off from many of the new explorations in this cutting-edge technology, like the AI orbs that can track pedestrians’ eyeballs or photo-editing AI that can help bring old photos back to life. That being said, there’s always a risk of criminal activity as we try to figure out the boundaries of the technology itself. A mere one-minute recording is all it takes for deep fake technology, fuelled by generative AI, to craft eerily convincing voice imitations. Although generative AI holds the potential to revolutionise business operations, content creation, and data analysis, its transformative capabilities can be manipulated by malicious actors, leading to disconcertingly lifelike deep fakes and voice scams that amass significant financial losses. The impact of voice cloning technology was starkly evident in instances like the 2019 impersonation of a UK energy company CEO, resulting in a $35-million (R668 million) scam in Hong Kong in

WhatsApp working on its first AI feature; Meta-owned company testing personalized stickers In the latest beta version for Android, a select group of testers can explore the "Create" button within the sticker tab's keyboard interface SUMMARY At present, the capability to create and share AI stickers is accessible to a limited group of beta testers The user has to simply enter a description and the AI will create stickers accordingly Users will also be able to report any sticker that they deem inappropriate in any way WhatsApp has plans to enhance the messaging experience of its users with the help of AI. The Meta-owned company has taken its first step in the integration of AI with its upcoming feature. Following its recent beta update that enabled users to juggle multiple accounts on one device, WhatsApp is now planning to equip artificial intelligence to offer personalized stickers. The new feature works a lot like popular image-generating AI tools like Midjourney and Dall-E. However, they can only be used to create stickers. According to a report by WABetaInfo, in the latest beta version for Android, a select group of testers can explore the 'Create' button within the sticker tab's keyboard interface. Pressing

In the latest round of fines over recordkeeping violations, the SEC and CFTC charged 11 Wall Street firms $549 million in penalties. The agencies vowed to continue enforcing compliance throughout the industry.Della Rollins/Bloomberg, Michael Nagle/Bloomberg Two Wall Street regulators recently fined eight investment banks and three other financial firms a total of $549 million over "widespread and long standing failures" to archive electronic communications sent via services including WhatsApp, Signal, and iMessage. The regulators also said they will continue to pursue such cases.The fines are the latest in a series that the Securities and Exchange Commission, alongside the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, have issued to broker-dealers over the past two years, starting with JPMorgan Securities in December 2021. The fines issued last week hit brands including Wells Fargo, Bank of Montreal, BNP Paribas, and Wedbush.The CFTC and SEC have now collectively imposed $2.5 billion in fines over these recordkeeping violations, which Ian McGinley, director of enforcement for the CFTC, said are designed to send a clear message."Recordkeeping and supervision requirements are fundamental, and registrants that fail to comply with these core regulatory obligations do so at their own peril," McGinley said.Some broker-dealers and investment advisors have self-reported violations to the

WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will give users the ability to create and AI-generated stickers. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has begun testing the new feature with a limited number of users. In the new beta, users have a “Create” button that will then prompt the user to enter a description. The description will be used to generate a selection of stickers. WABetaInfo describes the feature: Al stickers are generated using a secure technology offered by Meta. You’re always in control over stickers generated by AI: in case you think a sticker is inappropriate or harmful, you can report it to Meta. In addition, it’s important to note that this feature is optional and those AI stickers are easily recognisable. This means that the recipient may understand when a sticker has been generated by the AI technology from Meta. In our opinion, this feature brings a couple of advantages to the user experience. By entering a description to generate AI stickers, users can create stickers that are highly personalized and relevant to their interests, experiences, or conversations. We think that this level of personalization can enhance the overall messaging experience and make conversations definitely more engaging. In addition, users

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Existing patrimonial political structures in Ghana and Nigeria are being replicated as campaigning moves to WhatsApp, analysis shows. The empowerment of new actors is being restricted in social media and it is not being used to challenge pre-existing power dynamics. Digital spaces have allowed new people to enter the political/campaigning arena, but they are often incorporated into existing structures of power rather than disrupting the whole system. The study shows WhatsApp campaigning in Nigeria is driven and shaped by individuals with loose direction from party officials, whereas in Ghana political parties have greater control. Researchers found more formal online structures in Ghana, with tighter control of messaging and strategy. In Nigeria there was less internal coherence, and campaign messaging focused more on the fortunes of individual candidates. The study, by Elena Gadjanova from the University of Exeter, Jonathan Fisher and Jamie Hitchen, both from the University of Birmingham, has been published in Party Politics. Researchers carried out 113 interviews and 15 focus group discussions with political candidates, their campaign teams and advisers, and party activists in both countries. The focus of this research was principally on the presidential races. They found that Ghana's two main political
