This feature was released for the beta version of iOS but was under development for Android. Users need to open a group chat to check if this feature is available in their WhatsApp accounts. This would allow users to easily identify other users, making it easier for them to participate in group conversations.  — WaBetaInfoGroup chats have usually different people with the same names and it can get confusing at times who is referring to who. But users can now differentiate quickly between different members by checking the profile icon. "In particular, when a group member doesn’t have a profile photo or it is hidden, WhatsApp will display a default empty profile photo: this default icon is easily recognisable due to its unique characteristics, including its colour, which

Corporate compliance chiefs and general counsel are bombarding outside attorneys with questions about how to design a policy to retain employee messaging on encrypted software, white-collar lawyers say.The intensifying dilemma for companies is fueled by recently stepped up Justice Department pressure in white collar investigations to produce encrypted chats on apps like Signal and WhatsApp. The enforcement push follows a wave of civil settlements on Wall Street over bankers’ inaccessible messages.“To the extent this was a hot topic, it’s going to be even hotter,” said Brian R. Michael, a Los Angeles-based partner in Morrison Foerster’s investigations and white collar defense practice.Clear solutions remain elusive. A DOJ policy announced March 3 directed prosecutors to levy steeper penalties against firms under investigation that are unable to preserve workers’ business-related messages. Companies are struggling to determine if the benefits of obtaining such information, which is often buried in unmonitored devices or gets deleted by disappearing software, are worth the delicate, expensive effort. ‘Brick Walls’Michael, formerly chief compliance officer for 21st Century Fox, said people in his prior role were already getting C-suite resistance about what’s feasible before the DOJ formalized its policy. But in-house lawyers and compliance officers now have a “compelling data

In idle moments of delusion, I have sometimes wondered if I have what it takes to be a politician. Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp messages prove without doubt I do not.Leaked messages that Hancock wrote as UK health secretary during the pandemic have appeared almost every day this month in London’s Daily Telegraph. They are riveting. I seize on each new batch in the way I imagine Charles Dickens fans rushed to read new instalments of The Pickwick Papers. As a result, I have been reminded of the weapons-grade levels of self-promotion and basic bastardry that pervade the upper reaches of political life.“I must own this,” Hancock told an adviser early in the pandemic, as the pair plotted to ensure he took maximum credit for a vaccine roll-out that other ministers were helping to develop.“It MUST NOT be Alok!” Hancock fretted some time later, having learnt that news was about to break of a vaccine breakthrough that could have left him overshadowed by the then business secretary, Alok Sharma. “I know, I’m worried,” replied his adviser.Hancock also passed on the happy news that the Covid crisis could propel his career “into the next league”. And he discussed the idea of threatening to

The mass leaking of thousands of Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp messages have laid bare in the starkest terms the extent of the divisions inside the cabinet and among advisers and civil servants handling the deadliest pandemic in modern times.But some who worked in Number 10 and across Whitehall, as well as bereaved families, have been angered by what they see as a rewriting of history by some cabinet ministers and by the framing of some of Hancock’s texts.Some who have spoken to the Guardian say an “anti-lockdown filter” has been put on events, including many MPs who now have the benefit of hindsight.Hancock himself has decided against releasing any additional messages or documents that could show a different light.“It goes against our main argument and fundamental belief that it is for the independent inquiry, to look at everything objectively, not just partial information, through an anti-lockdown lens,” a source close to him said.Even though the journalist who leaked the messages, Isabel Oakeshott, had the motivation to further the anti-lockdown argument, the content of the messages themselves still raise serious questions.They reveal potentially key misjudgments which might have cost lives – rather than prolonged lockdowns – including rising case numbers linked to

Introduction Mental disorders can be associated with disturbance in thinking, and can have a harmful impact on emotions and behaviours.1 According to a Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, in 2019, one out of every eight individuals, or 970 million people worldwide, suffered from a mental disorder, with anxiety and depression being the most prevalent.2 Furthermore, the incidence of mental disorders is reported to have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.3 There are numerous factors that can be described as stressors, which have an impact on mental wellbeing.4 For example, occupation-related psychological factors can have a harmful impact on mental health. According to the World Health Organization, the nature of the occupation, characteristics of the workplace, and factors associated with career development can all have an impact on the mental wellbeing of employees.5 Working in healthcare settings can be demanding and challenging and can lead to burnout. There is also an elevated risk of stress, depression, and other mental disorders. The identification of stressors, in the first instance, as well as the mitigation of factors affecting mental health have been indicated as important elements in securing a safe working environment for healthcare professionals.6 Recently, the use of social media has
