Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees that WhatsApp and Messenger would drive the company's next wave of sales growth, as he sought to assuage concerns about Meta's finances after its first mass layoffs. Zuckerberg, addressing pointed questions at a company-wide meeting a week after Meta said it would lay off 11,000 workers, described the pair of messaging apps as being "very early in monetising" compared to its advertising juggernauts Facebook and Instagram, according to remarks heard by Reuters. "We talk a lot about the very long-term opportunities like the metaverse, but the reality is that business messaging is probably going to be the next major pillar of our business as we work to monetise WhatsApp and Messenger more," he said. Meta enables some consumers to speak and transact with merchants through the chat apps, including a new feature announced Thursday in Brazil. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday's internal forum. Zuckerberg's comments there reflect a shift in tone and emphasis after focusing heavily on extended reality hardware and software investments since announcing a long-term ambition to build out an immersive metaverse last year. Investors have questioned the wisdom of that decision as

Be it images, videos, or GIFs- you never know what to expect and hence, you end up opening them up immediately.But did you ever feel that such media content would be better off with a caption? Well, if the answer is yes, this just might be your lucky day. Say hello to WhatsApp rolling out new functionality that allows users to add captions to their media while forwarding them to others.

So what can we expect? Well, the rollout would entail a unique caption view that would pop up when forwarding pictures, documents, GIFs, and more with captions. With the new view in place, users get a better sense of what caption would come into place on the new message and when it gets forwarded as you can select if

WhatsApp has launched a new feature in select countries that will let users search for businesses, contact them, and make purchases without ever having to leave the app. The features are still in testing and are limited to select countries. The new ‘Business Search’ feature will let users find a brand on the platform. This is being rolled out in Brazil, the UK, Indonesia, Mexico, and Colombia for now. According to The Indian Express, the new Directory feature will let users discover a local merchant on WhatsApp and it is limited to Brazil only for now. The company plans to expand it to the entire country after testing in Sao Paulo. “We want to make it easier for people to get more done on WhatsApp. Part of that is building better ways to engage with businesses. And while millions of businesses in Brazil use it for chat, we haven’t made it easy to discover businesses or buy from them, so people end up having to use workarounds,” states Meta Chief Executive Officer, Mark Zuckerberg, in a press statement. The new P2M or Pay to Merchant feature will let users directly pay a merchant in the app. This is being tested

In the 21st century, jotting down ideas before we forget them or saving web links could be made much easier if texting oneself on a messaging platform is allowed. The good news is, the most popular messaging-app WhatsApp now joins platforms like Slack and Telegram which lets one save messages for later. The Meta-owned platform's latest version will offer an easy way to text oneself.  In a rather surprising turn of events, the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS and Android users will now allow users to text themselves. The most-awaited feature hasn't rolled out for everyone just yet. WABetaInfo noticed that WhatsApp's latest version for iOS (version 2.22.23.74) will slowly roll out for all Apple users around the world. Surprisingly, this new feature is also available to Android users with WhatsApp version 2.22.23.77. Messages sent to yourself will be visible on all of your linked devices, and they are end-to-end encrypted, according to WABetaInfo. The messaging application is reportedly beta testing Companion Mode on Android. Although the modern feature is rolling out in a phased manner, the app's companion mode will allow users to use a secondary Android device for WhatsApp instances.
