Whatsapp

The agent chuckles when asked whether his phone will be busy on deadline day. “I honestly don’t know what the football industry did before Whatsapp,” he says.“Every morning in January you’ll wake up to five or six messages that were sent after midnight. I think everyone in football is sending those messages late at night or first thing in the morning through the whole month.“It’s like the industry is living on Red Bull or espressos, just teeing up deals that largely don’t happen but they’re doing the work on just in case.“Then on deadline day all hell breaks loose. The phone just lights up all day. Maybe ten or 15 years ago it was just the manager or the Chairman taking the lead on the deal, but nowadays there’s a team of analysts, the loan manager, the data scientist – they will all want to know some information about a player.More from Football“An incredible amount of work goes into just about every transfer. Which makes it a bit crazy to think that so much can happen in a few hours on the final day.”Deadline day is football’s 24 hours of soap opera. “Footballers do enjoy it, watching it all play…

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has announced its first-ever US marketing push for one of the company’s social media and instant messaging apps, WhatsApp. The first TV ad aired in late January 2022 and the Meta’s intend is to make the instant messaging app as popular in the US as it is in Europe.WhatsApp already counts for over 2 billion users worldwide, which already makes it popular but not in the US. The goal of the marketing push in the US is to highlight the app’s security by encrypting text messages sent and received, as opposed to other texting methods, including SMS. According to a 2019 study by CTIA, SMS remains the default texting method used for Android phones in the US, which doesn’t benefit from end-to-end encryption. And, while Google is pushing for the adoption of an upgrade to SMS that adds features like encryption, Apple didn’t show interest in an RCS compatibility to its iMessage.  With WhatsApp being available on both iOS and Android smart devices, it could become a selling point to those looking for additional privacy and security when texting online.

Image Credit: Shutterstock San Francisco: Meta-owned WhatsApp's Head Will Cathcart has hinted that it may soon unveil an exclusive Apple iPad app, media report says. Cathcart has a message for those who have been clamoring for a native iPad app: "don't give up hope", reports The Verge. "People have wanted an iPad app for a long time," Cathcart told The Verge during an interview this week. "We would love to do it," he added. Like Instagram for the iPad, a version of WhatsApp for Apple's tablet has long eluded users despite being a heavily requested feature, the report said. And while Cathcart would not go so far as to commit to the release of an iPad version, his comments suggest it is possible that one will be built soon, especially now that WhatsApp has built the underlying technology needed for such a client to work, it added. "We did a lot of work on the technology for supporting multiple devices," Cathcart said, referencing the rollout of opt-in, multi-device support for WhatsApp last year. "Our web and our desktop apps now have that. If I have a multi-device on, I can turn my phone off or lose my network connection and…

During COVID, WhatsApp revolutionised the delivery of healthcare when lockdown and travel restrictions were in place As I entered the patient’s examination cubicle, I noticed him hurriedly taking a picture of his x-ray in his smartphone. The x-ray was hung upside down and I instinctively corrected it and asked him to take a picture. The gentleman coyly took a snap and said, “My sister’s son is a medical student and I wanted to show my x-ray to him.”Of late, every medical record is pictured by patients on their smartphones since it serves as a repository and a ready reckoner. The moment I ask a patient about his past history, he would whip out his smartphone, proudly open his gallery and scroll the thousands of images up and down a few times and show some of his previous medical consultations. Apart from being stored, the pictures are also sent through WhatsApp to family members and friends. Among the many recent technological advances in the last decade, WhatsApp would stand tall as a creator of disruptive innovation. It has suffused every part of our lives. I notice that it has brought significant changes in the way healthcare is practised and delivered.Since time…
