WhatsApp announced Tuesday that it has two new security features to help prevent accounts from being hacked — upgrading PINs to passwords and allowing users to add more passkeys. The Meta-owned app also announced that when you receive calls from someone outside your contact list, you’ll get more information and context about the caller, such as whether the phone number is originating from another country. WhatsApp did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The security features come on the heels of other privacy-centered tools implemented in recent months, including a Scam Alert tool to flag incoming scam messages. In late June, the company said it would allow people to create usernames so their phone numbers would not be visible. WhatsApp, launched in 2009, is by far the world’s most widely used messaging app, with more than 2 billion active users. Next on the list are Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and Telegram.

Users can turn any photo into an iMessage or WhatsApp sticker, or use images as inspiration to create custom packs. Here are the details. ’Turn any photo, idea, or inside joke into a custom sticker pack’ A few days ago, references found in code showed that OpenAI was working on a feature that would let users create custom stickers in ChatGPT and export them directly to WhatsApp. Today, OpenAI officially announced the feature, adding that it works with iMessage as well as WhatsApp and supports creating images with transparent backgrounds. Here’s OpenAI’s announcement: With the new feature, users can upload one or several images from their library. From there, they can ask ChatGPT to turn each image into a sticker, remix them into multiple stickers, and add or remove elements. Users can also transfer a style from another image or simply describe the style they want in a prompt. Once the sticker is done, users can tap a “Add to chat apps” button, which lets them export to supported chat apps. Currently, the options are: iMessage WhatsApp (Can only export 3 or more stickers) Save to photos It’s worth noting that WhatsApp’s three-sticker minimum is a requirement set by Meta
