By Malay Mail Sunday, 16 Nov 2025 2:53 PM MYT KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — The Selangor Menteri Besar’s Office has dismissed a viral WhatsApp allegation involving one of its officers, labelling it “clearly malicious and politically motivated”. In a statement today, the office said the claims — circulated in a newly created WhatsApp group — had no factual basis. It described the content as “wild allegations” that were “clearly defamatory, misleading and without any facts or basis whatsoever”. The statement comes after the emergence of a WhatsApp chat group named “MB Selangor”, run by an administrator identifying himself only as “Madani”, in which a series of unverified accusations about the aide were circulated. The office noted that the circulation appeared timed to distract from Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari’s Selangor Budget 2026 presentation

Summarize Next Article The feature is currently limited to beta testers What's the story WhatsApp has released a new update for its Android app, version 2.25.34.11, through the Google Play Beta Program. The highlight of this update is a new feature that suggests stickers as you type your messages. The innovative tool is currently available to select beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks. How the sticker suggestion feature works The sticker suggestion feature shows a dedicated sticker tray above the keyboard as you type. This tray displays stickers related to the emojis or text entered in the chat bar. If you tap on a suggested sticker, WhatsApp will automatically send it, making conversations more lively and expressive without having to navigate through different sticker packs. Emoji associations determine sticker suggestions Only static and animated stickers with emoji associations from their creation process can be suggested. Some third-party apps allow creators to assign up to three different emojis to a single sticker for better accuracy. These emoji associations must visually and contextually represent the sticker's meaning, ensuring relevant matches. This system not only helps users find stickers in the keyboard but also enables

OpenAI’s ambitions of creating an everything app are no longer in hiding as the San Francisco-based AI startup announced on Friday that it is adding a Group Chats feature to ChatGPT. Notably, this is not OpenAI's first attempt at adding a social component to its AI work. Just a few weeks back, the Microsoft-backed company announced its TikTok-like AI-generated short-videos app called Sora, which has since gone viral on iOS and is yet to make its debut on Android. The new feature is currently in pilot stage and is rolling out to ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro users in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan. The company says it plans to learn from early feedback and expand the feature to more regions in the future. How will the Group Chat feature work? Group chats allow users to bring their friends into the same conversation with ChatGPT. So, in case you are planning a trip with your friends, you can create a group where your friends are joined by ChatGPT, and the AI can help choose a destination that everyone approves. ChatGPT Group chats Notably, Meta already offers a similar feature in WhatsApp, where users can summon its AI

Thursday, 13 November 2025, 19:30 The National Police have warned WhatsApp users about a new scam that is easy to fall for because of how innocent it looks. It involves a message sent by an existing contact - a friend or a family member - who sends an appeal for support: "Vote for my child." Who wouldn't want to help an acquaintance who asks you to vote for their child to win a competition? But, in this case, kindness can be dangerous and lead to your WhatsApp account getting hijacked. According to police sources, this is a "highly effective" scam precisely because it relies on the trust placed in close contacts. The victim unknowingly hands over control of their account to cybercriminals who, in a matter of seconds, gain access to all conversations on the messaging app The mechanics of the operation are quite simple. The text usually includes a phrase such as "Vote for my child" or "I need your vote for a school competition." The message is accompanied by a link to a website that, at first glance, appears legitimate. However, the page is actually a fraudulent site designed to deceive the user. Once inside, the site asks

WhatsApp has announced that it will begin displaying advertisements within the app, marking a major shift for the world’s most popular messaging platform as parent company Meta Platforms seeks to open new sources of revenue beyond Facebook and Instagram. In a blog post on Monday, WhatsApp said that ads will appear only in the app’s “Updates” tab, which includes features such as Status updates and Channels sections used by an estimated 1.5 billion people daily. Developers were quick to stress that personal chats will remain ad-free, and that end-to-end encryption ensures private conversations, calls, and group messages cannot be used for advertising or data collection. “The personal messaging experience on WhatsApp isn’t changing,” the company said. “Personal messages, calls and statuses are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be used to show ads.” The move represents a significant change for the app, which for over a decade prided itself on being free of advertisements. WhatsApp’s founders, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, had strongly opposed the introduction of ads when they launched the platform in 2009, describing them as intrusive and incompatible with user privacy. When Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014 for around &19 billion, the founders reiterated their commitment to an ad-free

Do you need an emergency plumber? A midnight blue Loaf sofa (never used)? Four tickets to that sold-out Coldplay gig at Wembley? A fox red labrador puppy (£1,400 each)? A giant disco ball? Dinner recommendations for the south of France? A babysitter for 6pm? No matter how obscure, mysterious or urgent your request, you can guarantee an answer, pinging like magic on to your phone, in minutes. That plumber? Here’s his mobile. The puppy? Yours — can you collect tomorrow? The disco ball? I’ll just dust ours off from the garage. The source of this digital wizardry? A WhatsApp group on my phone called AA. No, not that one (although living in the back end of nowhere does drive numbers up). This AA stands for Absolutely Anything — and it does exactly what its name suggests. Ultra-exclusive, all-female and designed as a networking group crossed with a reselling platform, AA has become a lifeline to working women like me who moved from London to the Suffolk countryside and crave contact with like-minded others. Membership stands at nearly 700, just 20 of whom I know offline but many of whom I’ve since spoken to, met at networking events or bought items

WhatsApp is giving its desktop version a practical update: The messenger is introducing a new MediaHub on Mac and in the web version. This feature consolidates all recently shared photos, videos, and documents, making it significantly easier to find old files. As reported by “WABetaInfo,” the update is primarily designed to eliminate the tedious scrolling through long chat histories. Previously, searching for a specific photo or PDF required painstakingly clicking through chats. The new MediaHub now offers a centralized overview of all media shared recently. With this, WhatsApp brings one of the most requested management features to the desktop. Central Overview for All Files The MediaHub appears in the sidebar of the web and Mac versions and opens a compact collection of all recently transferred files. Users can directly access photos, videos, and documents there without having to search through each chat individually. Additionally, there is an integrated search function that filters by senders or accompanying captions—ideal if the original chat has long been forgotten. New Features for Better Organization In addition to the overview, WhatsApp integrates practical tools for better management. The MediaHub allows multiple selections to delete or forward several files at once. Sorting options by date or

Paragon Solutions and NSO Group, both founded in "Israel" and now owned by US investors, are actively seeking access to US agencies. Paragon, the developer of Graphite spyware, secured a deal with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in September after the Department of Homeland Security lifted a freeze on a $2 million contract. Both Apple and WhatsApp have taken a firm position against the spread of spyware across the globe, and have alerted individuals across multiple nations whenever their devices were compromised, including Italy, Spain, India, and others. Apple confirmed in a statement to The Guardian, “Threat notifications are designed to inform and assist users who may have been individually targeted by mercenary spyware, and geographic location is not a factor in who they are sent to.” WhatsApp echoed the sentiment in a separate statement to The Guardian, stating, “WhatsApp’s priority is to protect our users by disrupting hacking efforts by mercenary spyware, building new layers of protection and alerting people whose device has come under threat, no matter where they are in the world.” Apple and WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, has had previously cooperative ties with the Trump administration, raising concerns about how these firms might respond if
