Whatsapp

by Sarah Mahoney , Staff Writer, 2 hours ago Somewhere right now, 2.6 million people are listening in as Lionel Messi, Sir David Beckham, and Steve Carell plan a watch party over WhatsApp. The group chat launched less than two weeks ago, and it's the centerpiece of what Lay's Vice President of Global Marketing Alexis Porter calls a "scaled intimacy" play for FIFA World Cup 2026. She tells CPG Insiderabout the new approach and how it fits into the brand's sweeping repositioning.  This interview has been edited for length and clarity. CPG Insider: The use of WhatsApp is very different. How do you make that decision? Porter: We're the official snack sponsor and the No. 1 potato chip of FIFA World Cup, but it's so much more than a sponsorship. You can't just slap your logo on something anymore. You have to find and follow fan conversations and behaviors, and while that's true in sports overall, FIFA is at a different level. We were excited to partner with WhatsApp to create a first-of-its-kind technology. It's a scaled intimacy play — a group chat for an epic watch party, with partners we've worked with for years: Alexia Putellas, Lionel Messi, Sir

WhatsApp's latest update brings new features to make messaging easier than ever, and it even includes an option where Meta AI can write replies on your behalf. Meta has also introduced the ability to have two accounts active on the same iPhone, a feature that first came to Android back in 2023. Multiple-account support lets you switch between two accounts without signing out and back in. A small profile photo shows you which account you're messaging from. Over the last few years, Apple's iOS and Android have been making it easier to switch between the two operating systems, and now WhatsApp is joining in. Chat Transfer, which takes your message history, photos, videos, and more to a new device, now allows you to switch between OSes for the first time. Meta is also bringing more AI-powered features into WhatsApp. Its new Writing Help tool gets AI models to suggest draft replies to your messages, which you can then tweak before you send. You’ll find the feature under the multimedia menu, represented by a pencil icon between the emoji and GIF options. Press here and you’ll get three preprepared responses from Meta AI; adjust the writing tone by scrolling through options

Do you want to put together a speech to stop the trees in your neighborhood from being cut down but don’t know where to start? Are you afraid of getting a scam call and not being able to tell if it’s artificial intelligence or a real person? Did you receive an email in a language you don’t speak, and want to translate it and know how to respond? Artificial intelligence (AI) can help you. But you have to use it carefully. Factchequeado presents Fact-DesafIA, a new interactive course on WhatsApp designed to help the Spanish-speaking community better understand how artificial intelligence (AI) works and how to use it to their advantage, in an informed and safe way. Fact-DesafIA builds on the success of our first hit, Fact-Desafío, the interactive game Factchequeado created to help people learn to identify misleading information while navigating social media and the internet and better navigate the chaos of the digital information ecosystem. In this new edition, the focus is on AI, a technology increasingly present in everyday life and about which there is still little accessible information in Spanish. The course requires no prior knowledge and is designed so that anyone—of any age—can take it.

By AUDREY LYNN LEINOFF MARCH 23, 2026 16:49 Updated: MARCH 23, 2026 18:04 It was cold, it was dark, and I was sitting alone in the middle of a stairwell on a lower floor in my apartment building in Jerusalem, for I could not remember how many times that day already. What day was it anyway, I wondered? Saturday, Sunday? Or maybe just that witching hour found in the middle of all nights that is always accompanied by an unbridled sense of dread. And how many days have passed since Operation Roaring Lion began? Was it three, four, or five? In my dazed state after waking to the unearthly screeching sound of yet another Home Front Command missile alert on my phone, it was hard to tell. But I had bigger problems at the moment, I reminded myself in the deadly silence that followed; survival would be a good one to fixate on, for instance. Unlike most of my friends, some of them in southern Israel, most in the Gush Dan region, my housing complex has no bomb shelter. That is why I keep dragging my carcass down two flights of stairs, where I mercilessly plump my protesting backside down

A Bedfordshire magistrate has been given a misconduct warning following a comment in a private WhatsApp group. Derek Muhammad – JP of the Bedfordshire bench – was having a “private intellectual discussion about the complex legacy of Winston Churchill and the colonial history of Britain”. But another member of the WhatsApp group took umbrage, saying it was racially prejudiced and reported experiencing distress as a result of the comment. The experienced magistrate of nearly 20 years denied this was the case, saying it wasn’t racist and had been taken out of context. Winston Churchill (Image by Simon Goodall/Pixabay) During the hearing, Mr Muhammad said his comment had been taken out of its context and had been a criticism of colonial exploitation. He cited his own heritage and argued it isn’t credible to suggest he harbours racial animus toward people with whom he shares ancestry. He cited his long, unblemished record of public service – and suggested the complaint was vexatious and insincere. But following an investigation under the Judicial Conduct (Magistrates) Rules 2023, a nominated committee member of the South-East Region Conduct Advisory Committee found "Mr Muhammad’s comment was racially inappropriate as it could be interpreted as expressing a negative
