By PYMNTS  |  December 7, 2022 Latin American eCommerce platform MercadoLibre is introducing digital business messaging payments with WhatsApp. In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday (Dec. 7), the CFO of MercadoLibre, Pedro Arnt, revealed that the two companies are partnering to bring payments processing capabilities to WhatsApp’s messaging service users. “We are in the test phase as one of the partners that processes payments in Brazil. This could be an opportunity for us to leverage WhatsApp efficiently to generate more sales and better customer contacts,” Arnt told Reuters. The partnered payments tool would allow Brazilian WhatsApp users to find a company’s account using an in-app directory, as well as make digital transactions on the app via credit or debit cards. “We have a very strong relationship with our consumers because we can solve both their financial needs and their commerce needs. That puts us in a very strong position,” Arnt said. WhatsApp started rolling out in-app payments to users in India in 2020, and began introducing the feature in Brazil last month (Nov. 17). “This seamless checkout experience will be a game-changer for people and businesses looking to buy and sell on WhatsApp without having to go to a

The latest beta also tweaks the appearance of eight existing emoji We know WhatsApp as one of the most popular messaging services today, and for good reason. It may not always be the first to add the latest features, but there are plenty of modes of expression available in its arsenal, like Communities, support for large groups, and even messaging yourself to remedy forgetfulness. Now, WhatsApp is working on adding support for new emoji recently approved by the Unicode Consortium, helping you express yourself better — and with fewer words. In mid-September, the Unicode Consortium gave the Unicode 15 standard a green light. It included 4,489 new characters, of which 20 were new emoji (31, if you count every skin tone variation). After taking WhatsApp beta version 2.22.25.12 for a spin, WABetaInfo has spotted the messaging service adding support for 21 of those Unicode 15 emoji behind the scenes. These 21 new emoji should make their way to beta testers worldwide sometime in the near future, but a precise timeline isn't yet clear. WhatsApp's developers also seem to have tweaked the appearance of eight older emoji. The visual difference is most significant in the pleading face and the face holding

One report stated that an actor recently posted an ad in a hacking community forum to sell the data of over 487 million WhatsApp users, including their mobile numbers.
