WhatsApp: This occurs when a contact is reported

Have you ever wondered what happens when you report to a WhatsApp contact? Here we tell you. In Somagnews we have reported that WhatsApp has the option to report any contact, in fact a few days ago the application announced that new updates have been made in this regard, but what happens after a contact has been reported? Although many know that the WhatsApp application allows you to report a contact, it is unknown what happens after making the report and if you have been curious, you are in the right place. To begin with, we have to be clear that in order to make a report, it is because you are having problems or having problems with an account, so the messaging APP offers the possibility of reporting it. When to report a contact Factors such as spam and harassment are reasons to report a contact, if these are cases WhatsApp could even suspend the account of the reported user and this is not a trick as it could happen. And it is that WhatsApp will record the report you have sent and add the number to a ‘Watch list’ where the activities of the person will be closely watched. In addition, an investigation will be carried out on the activities of the person on the platform and that they could eventually be banned from using WhatsApp. If WhatsApp finds reason to believe that the account activities actually violate the WhatsApp Terms of Service, the number could be (temporarily or permanently) banned from using WhatsApp. Starting today, people across India will be able to send money through WhatsApp 💸 This secure payments experience makes transferring money just as easy as sending a message. pic.twitter.com/bM1hMEB7sb — WhatsApp Inc.

Local body polls: Doorstep canvassing a no-no, campaigning goes online

For representational purpose Express News Service KOCHI: As the local body polls near, the campaign fever that perennially sweeps the state during election season is bound to look a little different this time. The Covid-19 pandemic is still raging, which rules out the traditional door-to-door mode of canvassing voters from the equation. In fact, even large gatherings and mega-rallies may have also become a thing of the past. But not to worry, a startup based in Perumbavoor has just the solution for confused candidates — going online. “Covid has made the internet an important part of our lives. Even those above the age of 65 have become tech-savvy. More importantly, they have learnt the use of social media platforms like the WhatsApp. So, we came up with the idea to canvass voters with the help of SMS, voice messages, and WhatsApp status videos,” said Mohammed Raziq, CEO, Creat If Digital Solutions.  With the new initiative, the six-member team of Creat If is extending the scope of what they had already been doing for various clients — sending out bulk SMS to create visibility for the product or service. “So why not apply this to the campaigning problems faced by those contesting the elections. Our bulk SMS panel will enable them to reach out to voters while adhering to the Covid protocol. We even have a TRAI license,” he said.  The firm had recently released a notification advertising their campaigning alternative, and received a whopping 150 confirmations in a single day from all over the state. “We have been getting enquiries from individuals as well as political parties,” he said. But how does this work? “Our team develops SMS and voice messages, in either Malayalam or English, according to the matter submitted by the candidate. These are then sent to the voters living…

WhatsApp Wants to Host Your Intimate Chats. Don't Fret—They'll Be Deleted in a Week.

Facebook Inc.’s WhatsApp has introduced a setting that automatically deletes messages after seven days, a move aimed at encouraging users to feel comfortable chatting in confidence. The feature, which as of this month can be applied to both one-to-one and group chats, is meant to make chats feel more like face-to-face conversations than imperishable email threads or text messages do, said Zafir Khan, product manager at WhatsApp. Records of most in-person conversations don’t exist forever, so conversations on WhatsApp shouldn’t have to either, according to Mr. Khan. “Things like text messages had a very different use case over a decade ago—they were used more for one-off coordination, because of the limited characters and the spottiness of connection,” he said. “But now smartphones have proliferated and people always have their phones with them, they’re using WhatsApp messaging for very deep and intimate conversations.” Newsletter Sign-up The Experience Report Get weekly insights into the ways companies optimize data, technology and design to drive success with their customers and employees. That led WhatsApp’s product team to rethink its assumptions about how the service should work, Mr. Khan said. They hope the new feature will encourage more people to host personal conversations on the platform, confident that their messages won’t come back to haunt them, he said. The feature may also help Facebook boost engagement on WhatsApp, according to Miguel Alvarez, global chief technology officer of digital agency AnalogFolk Ltd. He said users may check in on conversations more if they are afraid of missing something important. People in group chats may also be motivated to chime in to keep WhatsApp conversations from going empty, he added. “Data and privacy are clearly important in this,” Mr. Alvarez said, “but really it almost forces users to keep a conversation ongoing.” The concept of sending a…

Telecoms slam tweaks to EU rules on WhatsApp and Microsoft

Europe’s telecoms industry on Thursday slammed proposed tweaks to planned EU rules governing Facebook’s WhatsApp and Microsoft unit Skype that would tighten the rules faced by telecoms providers to use electronic communications metadata. The planned EU rules subject WhatsApp and Skype to the same rules as telecoms providers, Reuters reported. The bloc’s 27 countries have struggled to find common ground on the ePrivacy regulation drafted by the European Commission in 2017 because of disagreement on rules for cookies tracking users’ online activities crucial for targeted advertising, and consent requirements. Germany, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, shared its proposed tweaks with other EU countries on Wednesday evening. The document reduces the legal grounds for telecoms providers to use electronic communications metadata for other purposes or to further process the data, in a blow to the telecoms industry looking to use network location data for smart transport services as a potential money-spinner. Lobbying group ETNO, whose members include Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Telefonica, and mobile operators group GSMA were scathing about the German proposal. “Germany’s proposed text fails to bridge the gap between protecting privacy and confidentiality and stimulating innovation in European service providers,” they said in a joint statement. They urged other EU countries not to back the proposal unless it allows them more freedom to use metadata for legitimate purposes and for further compatible processing. The bloc will have to agree on a common stand before thrashing out details of the rules with the Commission and European Parliament.

How to set up a Facebook Portal video-chat device and enable Alexa

You can use Facebook's Portal — a webcam-like device that records high-quality video and audio — to video chat with friends through Facebook and WhatsApp.  The Portal is designed to sit plugged in on a flat surface, rather than be carried around from room to room. You can set up a Facebook Portal easily by logging into your Wi-Fi and social media accounts. Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories. You can use Facebook's Portal device to video chat with friends, family, and colleagues. While your phone and laptop can do much of the same thing, Portal's features — including a camera that tracks your movements and an array of microphones — set it apart in video and audio quality. Portal is more than a simple webcam — you can use it to cast and share photos, control your TV using it as a virtual remote, connect to Alexa hands-free, take notes with reminders and video messages, and more. The Portal is designed to live on a flat surface like a desk or countertop and allows for you to move around and multitask without worrying about being in frame. But be mindful of where you put it.

THE Health Ministry has warned of a fake Whatsapp message being circulated on social media networks warning of a nationwide lockdown.

Hoax!” the Health Ministry made it clear, addressing the ‘fake news.’“If this message reaches you by Whatsapp or your social networks, it is a hoax without any basis.”Head of the coronavirus task force Fernando Simon revealed yesterday that a second nationwide lockdown is not currently deemed ‘necessary’.“We must be restrained, we cannot put all the measures in place when the situation does not yet require it,” Simon said.

Nikita Tomar murder protests: Men on WhatsApp groups that spread hate speech, says police

Written by Sakshi Dayal | Gurgaon | November 4, 2020 1:44:22 am Family and friends of the victim Nikita Tomar (left) staged a protest on the Ballabhgarh-Sohna road, Tuesday. (ANI)Several of the 32 accused arrested by Faridabad Police — after a protest seeking justice for the 20-year-old woman shot dead outside her college last week turned violent — were members of WhatsApp groups where “inflammatory messages” were being sent. “Phone data of the accused showed they were part of some WhatsApp groups where hate speech was being spread and inflammatory messages that instigated violence were being sent. We are identifying all anti-social elements who have indulged in these groups and are preparing a list. Action will be taken against them as per law,” said Adarshdeep Singh, ACP (Old Faridabad). “We are also keeping an eye on other social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. Action will be taken against anyone spreading hate speech or sending inflammatory messages on these as well,” he said. Police said all 32 men arrested are “misguided youth” who came to the protests after seeing posts on social media. No links have emerged between them and any political parties so far, said officials. The protest took place on Sunday when a group of people who were part of a mahapanchayat being held to seek justice for the victim, Nikita Tomar, attempted to block NH-2. “Around 200” people from the crowd allegedly pelted stones at police officials who tried to stop them, leaving 10 personnel injured. Thirty-two people were arrested following the incident, of whom 29 have been produced in court and remanded to judicial custody. The remaining three have been placed in isolation after they tested positive for Covid Monday. An advisory was also issued for all those involved in the mahapanchayat and protest to follow…
