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

As the ultra-high-end property market clicked into warp speed back in 2017, a two-residence compound in a particularly finely feathered pocket of Beverly Hills was quietly shopped off market by one of L.A.’s most successful real estate agents as a tear-down opportunity with a hefty $85 million price tag. The owner of the sprawling hilltop estate was at the time identified in The Wall Street Journal only as “a second-generation member of Saudi Arabia’s ruling family.” Other publicly accessible websites peg the property owner as Muhammad bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, one of late King Fahd’s ten children. (So the scuttlebutt goes, Prince Muhammad also owns several other humongous homes in the vicinity, including a Bel Air mega-manse with more than 40 bathrooms.)
