Facebook is reshuffling its names under a rebranded corporate parent: Meta. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the change Thursday, saying he wanted a new brand and a clearer corporate naming scheme to help focus on what's next for the internet beyond social media. The rebrand comes as Facebook faces a deluge of news stories and public scrutiny based on thousands of internal corporate documents obtained by news organizations, including NBC News. The documents, originating with former Facebook product manager and whistleblower Frances Haugen, reveal internal employee dissent over the platform's policies. The change won't affect the name of the company's signature blue-colored app, which will keep the name Facebook. But it will mean a new identity for the corporate umbrella that also owns Instagram and WhatsApp. Together with the app Messenger, Meta will own and control four of the most popular smartphone apps in the world. The name is a nod to the idea of the "metaverse," a term for a potential future internet that emphasizes virtual spaces. Zuckerberg said the metaverse will be the internet's "next frontier." Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook and its various apps would now fall under a new company name, Meta.Facebook"Facebook is one of the most-used products…

If you think you might be at risk of breast cancer, there's now a WhatsApp chatbot powered by artificial intelligence that can help answer your questions.  Angie the chatbot is part of a project by the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) that aims to expand access to genetic counselling. Women who are suspected of having a genetic predisposition to or are at high risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) can use the chatbot to learn about the syndrome and how genetic testing can help, before they attend their first genetic counselling session at the NCIS Cancer Genetics Clinic. They can also use the chatbot to complete their family medical history for risk assessment at their convenience. Currently, those at risk of HBOC are referred directly to the clinic for a genetic counselling session to help them understand the pros and cons of genetic testing and discuss recommended preventive options with an expert. Prior to this visit, a counsellor will conduct a routine call to collect the patient's family medical history. This call can sometimes take up to an hour. "During the initial counselling session, many patients may also feel overwhelmed by the amount of information provided…

In August 2021, Samsung announced that WhatsApp users will finally be able to transfer their chat histories from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. It was then said that owners of non-Samsung Android phones will get this feature too in the future, and now that future has arrived. On Tuesday, Google announced that users can now transfer their WhatsApp chat history from an iPhone to an Android 12 phone. It only works on phones running Android 12. Credit: google To get started, connect the phones with a USB-C to Lightning cable. While setting up a new Android device, scan a QR code on your iPhone, which will launch WhatsApp and move all your stuff to the new device. Alternatively, instead of scanning the code, you can open WhatsApp, and go to Settings - Chats - Move Chats to Android. Google says that making this work wasn't trivial. On Android 12, you can transfer most of your apps and data from iPhone to Android using the aforementioned cable. But some types of data are hard to move over, which is why Google worked with WhatsApp to enable the new functionality. Google says that this feature works on Samsung Galaxy devices…

If a screenshot of the chats has been taken, it can be leaked as it will not fall under the purview of end-to-end encryption. Updated: Oct 27, 2021, 12:48 PM IST WhatsApp is an extremely popular app and there is hardly anyone who doesn't use this for day-to-day real-time communication. However, we are also aware of the WhatsApp breaches which are very commonplace.  This brings us to the question of security. WhatsApp has stated that no third parties will be able to view anyone's WhatsApp chats, photographs, or videos. Facebook does not have access to the information, and WhatsApp does not have access to it either. The chats can only be read by the sender and receiver due to the end-to-end encryption policy. In spite of all the security features, chats are leaked and this could be extremely dangerous. In the end, all of your information is stored on your phone or on a cloud drive. When there is a suspicion of wrongdoing or criminal conduct, the same information can be made available to government authorities upon request. Also, if a screenshot of the chats has been taken, it can be leaked as it will not fall under the purview…
