Just By Mowing a Lawn, Social Media Star Raises $685,000 for Bereaved Senior Who Fell …

Debbie and Spencer in the overgrown lawn – credit, SB Mowing, via GoFundMe Who knew so much power lay behind the simple act of mowing the lawn. That’s what Spencer from SB Mowing, the prolific social media account, has shown us before, and is now showing us again as his yardwork channels $685,000 to a woman who had no money for rent or groceries. In a video posted on his YouTube channel on Friday, Spencer introduced his followers to Debbie. She, like most of his beneficiaries, has a terribly overgrown lawn and no money to hire anyone to take care of it. In fact, Debbie—like Beth in a previous video GNN reported on—has no money at all. “Debbie has had one of the hardest stretches of life imaginable, and she’s been carrying most of it alone,” SB Mowing said in a GoFundMe. It started when her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given 90 days to live. Debbie had to be his caregiver until he passed away. During her grief, a contractor she’d hired for tree work took a $2,000 deposit and never showed up. “A neighbor wrecked her car and didn’t pay for it. She fell 3 months

New WhatsApp feature: text messages that can only be read once

Testing of an entirely new feature has begun in the version of the messenger being developed for the iOS operating system. As reported by BAKU.WS, according to the GSMArena portal, the new feature will allow users to send text messages that can only be read once. To use this feature, users need to long-press the send button and activate the "Send for one-time viewing" option. Once opened, the message will be automatically deleted. It is worth noting that previously in WhatsApp, the one-time viewing mode was only available for photos, videos, and voice messages. With the new update, this capability will extend to text messages as well. The feature, which began testing in the Android version at the beginning of the month, is now undergoing an internal testing phase on the iOS platform as well. Self-deleting text messages will be available for use in both personal and group chats. However, this feature will not be available in channels. At the moment, the new feature has not yet been introduced in the public beta version and is being tested by WhatsApp developers.

WhatsApp continues testing “view once” text messages on iOS – GSMArena.com news

WhatsApp has started testing "view once" messages on iOS. As the name implies, these will be messages that you send and can only be viewed once by the recipient. After they viewed them once, the messages will disappear. To enable the functionality you will just need to long-tap on the Send button, which will then present you with the option to "Send as view once". Engage that and you're done. WhatsApp initially started testing this feature on Android earlier this month, and now the same is happening on iOS. The view once option is already available for photos, videos, and voice messages, but now WhatsApp is working on expanding it to text messages as well. With that, everything will be covered.

WhatsApp working on yet another ephemeral feature on iOS – 9to5Mac

A few weeks ago, a WhatsApp beta build revealed work on disappearing messages that vanish after they’re read. Now, WhatsApp is developing another ephemeral messaging feature. Here are the details. View-once text messages underway Last month, WABetaInfo reported that a WhatsApp beta build on TestFlight had added an “After reading” option to the app’s existing disappearing messages feature. Currently, WhatsApp’s disappearing messages setting officially supports timers for 24 hours, 7 days, and 90 days. With the new option, which has yet to roll out broadly, users will also be able to set new messages to vanish after they’ve been read. Now, WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is working on yet another ephemeral messaging feature. Although it isn’t available to beta testers yet, the feature will let users send view-once text messages, expanding an option that is already available for photos, videos, and voice notes. From WABetaInfo: After typing a message in the chat bar, users will be able to set the view-once option by long-pressing the Send button. This action will present a dropdown menu with the option “Send as view once”. Once sent, the recipient can open the message once before it becomes inaccessible. The feature will be available in

WhatsApp introduces voice and video calls in group chats on the web version | Caliber.Az

17 June 2026 01:40 This year, WhatsApp developers began testing voice and video calling features in the web version of the messaging platform. While the functionality has not yet been officially released, its logical next step is already underway — the introduction of these calling features to group chats. Some users of the WhatsApp Web beta version have received notifications that group chats with up to 32 participants now support voice calls, video calls, and screen sharing, according to reports from WABetaInfo . Starting a group call in WhatsApp Web works in much the same way as in a private chat. Users simply open a group conversation and look for the call button at the top of the chat window. After clicking it, they can choose between a voice or video call and join the session. It is also possible to select specific group members to participate in the call rather than automatically including everyone in the chat. As with the mobile app, WhatsApp says that group voice and video calls on the web platform are protected by end-to-end encryption and support call invitation links. Users can join the WhatsApp Web beta programme through the web app’s settings menu. However

It started with 20 Uber drivers in a WhatsApp group and turned into an … – CPG Click Oil and Gas

In May 2025, a group of Uber drivers in Salvador had fewer than 20 people and functioned as a chat space on WhatsApp. Today, the Track Rats are almost 8,000 members distributed across eight chat groups and eight rescue groups, with confirmed presence in Bahia, Sergipe, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. The name came from one of the founding members, Igor Barreto, who used the word rat in the sense of someone who circulates anywhere without prejudice. “At first we were a bit hesitant because rat conjures up something negative in many people’s minds,” admits one of the organizers in the Jornal Correio video. The redefinition stuck. What started as a chat space among friends who roamed the city transformed into an ecosystem that the Uber drivers themselves define with this word: rat’s barbershop, beauty salon for the ratonas, optics with glasses for R$ 200 for members, partner car wash in Castelo Branco that was the first to close a deal with the group. The logic is simple and powerful: volume for discount. With almost 8,000 drivers as a guaranteed audience, the collective can sit with companies and request conditions that an individual driver could never obtain. The Correio report showed
