LISTEN: Should parents be able to contact teachers on WhatsApp? – Jacaranda FM

Back in the day, parents had to go to the school or make an appointment with teachers or other school staff to talk to them. READ: Google AI has added four South African languages The idea of texting, phoning or emailing a teacher never even crossed a parent's mind unless things were really serious. In this day and age, WhatsApp and other messaging platforms have not only made it possible for parents to talk to their kids' teachers, but they are often already established in the school. READ: Warning issued as new criminal syndicate targets shoppers in SA Parent groups on WhatsApp are one thing, but should parents have the personal phone numbers of teachers, making the educators "accessible" at all hours of the day? It's no secret that teachers can be on the receiving end of some very intense, harsh, and rude parents, and these parents have more opportunities to attack outside the safety of school walls.

WhatsApp’s New ‘You’ Tab on iOS Signals Multi-Account Support

WhatsApp is gradually introducing a redesigned interface for iOS users, shifting its traditional settings tab into a more personalized "You" profile tab. According to the latest App Store release notes for version 16.5.10.73, the update allows users to manage their accounts, control identity settings, and express themselves more intuitively all in one place. A Step Toward Multi-Account Support This interface change signals a bigger move from WhatsApp: the long-awaited multi-account functionality. The app makes it easier to identify which account is currently active by putting the user's profile photo as the main icon for the "You" tab. According to 9to5Mac, the design mirrors the approach used by Instagram and Threads, where switching between multiple accounts becomes seamless and visually clear. Enhanced Profile Design with Cover Photo Alongside the new tab, WhatsApp is also experimenting with an updated profile layout. A default cover photo now appears at the top of the profile page, offering a more modern and visually engaging look. While this feature enhances personalization, it currently remains limited in scope. Users cannot yet upload their own cover images, but future updates are expected to unlock this option. Speaking of cover images, WhatsApp reportedly tested Facebook-like cover photos earlier this

Big Motoring World executives mocked ‘rude a****ole’ Peter Waddell in WhatsApp groups

Yesterday (Mar 17), the court heard evidence from Tom Clarke, who worked at the used car supermarket group as a general counsel and sat on the investigation committee into Waddell. During proceedings, he was questioned on a series of internal WhatsApp messages in which executives took ‘potshots’ at Waddell. The court was shown several messages from a private WhatsApp group involving Clarke and other senior figures, including Huma Rather and Sophie Hazell. In one exchange, Clarke sarcastically referred to the 59-year-old as ‘poor Peter’ before adding that he was a ‘massive drain’ and describing him as ‘completely nuts’. In other messages, the CEO was described by senior colleagues as a ‘f***ing idiot’ and a ‘rude a****ole’. During cross-examination Clarke admitted to using unprofessional language but insisted the messages were limited to private groups with a small number of colleagues. Questioning the witness, Waddell’s barrister, Alan Gourgey KC, said: ‘This is senior management, is it not, mocking the CEO of the business in pretty crude terms?’ He added: ‘This is how you and your colleagues were speaking about the man who founded the company.’ The court heard that Clarke was in one group named ‘Mission Impossible’, which he described as a ‘support

Garmin Launches WhatsApp Integration for Watches – DC Rainmaker

Garmin today has announced a new WhatsApp integration that lets you compose and reply to WhatsApp messages/threads directly from the watch. The integration is done via a new Connect IQ app, which can be loaded on more recent Garmin watches. I had a chance to give it a whirl, so I figured I’d outline what works (and what doesn’t). With that, let’s dive into it. Download and Setup: First up is seeing if your watch is on the list. In short, if your watch was released in 2025 or 2026, you’re good. But unless it was the Fenix 8 in 2024, you’re likely out of luck. Here’s the list as of launch (which I don’t expect to expand to older devices): D2 Air X15 Enduro 3 Fenix 8 Series Fenix 8 Pro Series Fenix E Forerunner 570 Forerunner 970 Tactix 8 Series Venu 4 Series Venu X1 Vivoactive 6 Once you’ve passed that gate, the install process is pretty quick. On your phone navigate to the Connect IQ app, and you’ll see WhatsApp at the top of the list. Or, you use this link. Within that, it’ll install it to your watch. It’s installed in a similar place as other

WhatsApp is now officially available on Garmin smartwatches – Engadget

There's an official WhatsApp app for select Garmin smartwatches . It's available for free right now in the Garmin Connect IQ Store. WhatsApp is primarily a chat platform, so this new app allows users to read and reply to messages, send emojis and peruse the chat history. The app also lets users accept or decline incoming calls arriving from the platform, all without having to break out the smartphone. This is WhatsApp, so messages are end-to-end encrypted. As previously mentioned, it's not available for every Garmin watch. It's compatible with select Forerunner, Venu, Vivoactive and Fenix watches. The Connect IQ Store should be able to say if your particular model can handle the app. This is just the latest smartwatch platform to get WhatsApp. Meta released an Apple Watch version at the tail-end of last year. Before that, Apple Watch users had to mirror iPhone notifications to reply to WhatsApp messages directly from the device. If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.
