Now, a new report details new features that will be available in the app soon.First in line is the Linked New Devices feature. WhatsApp, as per a report by WABetaInfo, has released a new user interface for WhatsApp Web and its desktop-based app. Up until now, when users clicked on WhatsApp Web/Desktop in the Settings, they used to see a QR code scanner on their screens that enabled them to scan the QR code on WhatsApp Web to access the messaging platform on a different device. Now the company has made changes to this user interface.The updated UI label shows “Use WhatsApp on other devices” which sits on top of the ‘Link a Device’ button.

Diaspora ReadsWith India signaling more internet to participate in the ‘Quad’, James Crabtree argues that if Joe Biden wins the US election, he should resurrect the Barack Obama-era ‘pivot to Asia’, with a few new features. “The problem is,” writes Melissa Conley Tyler, “that Biden may not have the political will or wherewithal to reverse the decline in US leadership in Asia.” Conley Tyler argues that a Biden presidency would be heavily absorbed with domestic concerns and may not have the support or werewithal to engage with Asia in a big way. “We’re seeing the ugliness of virtual Indian political discourse reach over the Atlantic, and it’s turning at least some Indian Americans far to the right,” writes Nitish Pahwa, in a piece looking at the arrival of the ‘IT Cell’ and ‘WhatsApp University’ in the US.

Serial sex beast John Boyd referred to her “kissable” lips, called her “my gorgeous princess”, and said “I love you” over several weeks. The pervert then lured the youngster to a bedroom and kissed her open-mouthed while squeezing her buttocks. The 54-year-old was forced to flee his home in Prestonpans, East Lothian, after it was targeted by protestors in the wake of his guilty plea last month. Appearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, Boyd was placed on a three-year community payback order with a supervision requirement. Sheriff John Mundy ordered him to attend a rehabilitation course for sex offenders. Earlier defence agent Jim Stephenson said Boyd had lost his job after being convicted and accepts “responsibility” for his offending. Boyd's home in Prestonpans, East Lothian, was boarded up after he fled following protests by locals The Daily Record and Sunday Mail have always been at the forefront when it comes to reporting crime in Scotland.

A desire not to fall out with family and friends can often make it a better option to mute WhatsApp chats rather than leave a group – but you could previously only do this for fixed periods of up to a year … Facebook has now updated the app to replace the ‘1 year’ option with ‘Always.’ Many of us have found ourselves in the situation of having been added to a group chat for family members or friends, but then being bombarded by messages, most of which are of no interest. Leaving the chat would alert everyone that we’ve done so, and can seem rude. Muting the chat is thus the preferred option for many in this situation, as nobody can see that you’ve done it. Muting WhatsApp chats means that you will no longer receive notifications or alerts when a new message arrives in the group. You can then pretty much ignore it, and just take a look from time to time when it suits you. Previously, you’d have to re-mute it annually, but WhatsApp tweeted that this is no longer the case. That works for most people, but there are some who never want to even look at the chat. Muting it isn’t ideal for that situation as the group will still pop back to the top of your chats anytime someone posts to it. Some would prefer an option to just archive it and never see it again. A bigger request, however, is for true multi-device support. Currently, for Apple users, WhatsApp only actually runs on an iPhone. There are third-party iPad apps, but these are just a front-end to the web interface, which only supports one connection at a time. The official Mac app is the same, which means that when you use it on...
