Six Scottish ministers, including health secretary Humza Yousaf, have used WhatsApp to conduct government business in the past year, raising fresh fears over transparency.Mr Yousaf was the highest-profile name to use the encrypted messaging service for government business in a year where his failure to improve NHS performance has seen calls for his resignation.Officials did not release their messages following enquiries by The Scotsman, claiming the latter would require a search of all information relating to each minister and be too expensive.Maree Todd, minister for public health, women’s health and sport, and Kevin Stewart, minister for mental wellbeing and social care, were included in the list.Neil Gray, minister for culture, Europe and international development with special responsibility for Ukrainian refugees, who is viewed as a potential dark horse for the SNP leadership once Nicola Sturgeon steps down, is the other political minister who used WhatsApp for government business.Dorothy Bain, the Lord Advocate, and Ruth Charteris, the Solicitor General, are the final two ministers listed as as using WhatsApp. It is not clear whether the messages covered legal advice.The revelation comes almost a year after the Scottish Government claimed no ministers had used WhatsApp for government business across two months in

WhatsApp is rolling out a feature that lets you “Message Yourself“, which is actually more useful than you’d think. It was initially part of a beta trial, but it will soon be available for both iOS and Android users. Source Message Yourself is a feature that lets you have your own chatspace—like you would for your group chats and your chats with individual contacts, except that only you would be able to view it. This means that you can post there as you would in any other chat, and sort of treat it like your own personal message board. You can save links, audio files, make to-do lists, send yourself holiday plans… basically whatever you want. And sure, the argument is that you can easily do the same thing with the Notes app or something similar. But using a chatspace on WhatsApp, especially if you’re already used to the app, can be a lot easier to access. Before this feature, I’ve currently been using a “hack” of sorts, where I made a group chat with one of my friends, and then kicked them out of the chatspace. I now have my own chatspace to myself to transfer files and write

WhatsApp is adding the ability to let you send texts to yourself, which can be particularly helpful for saving a quick link or jotting down reminders for later.It's a feature that is available in other texting apps, such as Signal, and in Slack, and provides another method of organizing for anyone who spends much of their time using the chat app anyway.For myself, I often will self-text when I need a quick way to move a web browser link from my phone to a desktop computer. With this method through WhatsApp, I can text it to myself from my phone, load up WhatsApp on my computer and then click away.Starting a text thread with yourself is the same process as texting anyone else. You'll tap the New Chat icon, and your own contact will be available at the top of the list with a status of "Message yourself." Tap on your contact and you can start texting from there.WhatsApp began rolling out the feature globally this week, and it should show up within the app when available.

The hacker is offering at least 487 million WhatsApp numbers for sale online. The database also contains the phone numbers of 3.1 million Belgian users. Experts warn of a potential increase in phishing attempts via the messaging site. The specialist Cybernews site examined the data and checked whether the US and UK numbers from the leak matched the WhatsApp users, which is correct.
