Thanks to AI Studio, users will soon be able to create their own custom AI chatbots directly within WhatsApp without any need for coding. This new option follows similar tools from OpenAI, such as Custom GPTs and Google’s Gemini Gems, and is now being tested by a small group of WhatsApp beta users on iOS and Android. AI Studio is designed to be easy to use and provides step-by-step guidance for building a chatbot. Users start by choosing a role for their AI, such as a study coach, travel assistant, or motivational companion. They can then select a personality and tone, with choices such as calm and thoughtful, energetic and funny, or professional and informative, as reported by 9to5Mac. Users can also design a visual avatar for their chatbot. The app provides auto-generated suggestions and the option to edit further or create avatars using text prompts. Once the chatbot is created, it is private by default, but users can share it through a link. I am waiting to see if it can be used in groups for disputes and discussions as a mediator or a counselor.

WhatsApp has announced it's stopping hardware support for three key iPhones and numerous Android phones stuck on older operating systems Apps stopping support for older hardware is a normal occurrence – but it’s still inconvenient for those affected. WhatsApp has announced it’s stopping hardware support for three key iPhones and numerous Android phones stuck on older operating systems. WhatsApp will now require iOS 15.1 or later or Android 5.1 or later. That means that three iPhones are now no longer supported – the colorful 2013 iPhone 5s as well as 2014’s iPhone 6 and the first larger iPhone, the 6 Plus. Some have suggested this also includes the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and the iPhone SE (1st gen) but as those are newer devices they are OK for the moment. However, it’s highly likely things will change when the app next drops support for certain devices. Android phones running 5.0 Lollipop or earlier are now no longer supported including some popular models from around a

It’s late evening and your phone vibrates with some banter from colleagues. You join the conversation and go to bed feeling part of the work community. You then wake up and have a feeling of apprehension as to how the messages will be perceived. WhatsApp might have started as a casual messaging app for friends, but it has now firmly become embedded in workplace communication – and increasingly in workplace conflicts, too. WhatsApp chats have also been used to corroborate or refute claims in employment tribunals. An employee might claim they were promised a pay rise or flexible hours via WhatsApp, for example. But on the other hand, employers have also used WhatsApp logs to prove misconduct. This evidence has included sharing confidential information. In the workplace, WhatsApp chats have replaced many casual real-life conversations. Colleagues create groups to coordinate work, message each other after hours and vent their frustrations in private messages. Although this feels informal, it can leave employees vulnerable. But when disputes escalate to legal action, these messages can help judges understand what really happened. Tribunals treat WhatsApp messages like any other document.

Mthobisi Nozulela | Published 14 hours ago Popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp has officially discontinued support for a range of older smartphones, rendering the app unusable on devices running outdated operating systems as of June 1, 2025. The move affects a range of ageing smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as older Android models like the Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X, and Sony Xperia. These devices are reportedly no longer compatible with the app’s minimum software requirements. Originally, WhatsApp had planned to implement the change on May 5, but the cutoff date was reportedly delayed and finalised for June 1, 2025. In its FAQ, WhatsApp said it regularly reviews supported operating systems to keep up with changing devices and software. "Devices and software change often, so we regularly review what operating systems we support and make updates," the Meta-owned app said." "Every year, we look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest users. These devices also might not have the latest security updates or might lack the functionality required to run WhatsApp." Meta’s messaging app also reminded users that before support for their operating system is

Instagram is at its best when it’s showing gorgeous photos, so how much better might it be if it worked with an iPad’s big screen instead of just a smartphone? We could know the answer to that question soon. Instagram is on its way to the iPad, a new report says. NurPhoto via Getty Images In a matter of months, according to two different reports, Instagram’s parent company, Meta, could deliver a big-screen Instagram. In April, The Information revealed in a report picked up by MacRumors that the iPad version was under development, meaning users would no longer have to rely on the iPhone app, which isn’t optimized for the bigger display of the iPad. Forbes Apple iOS 26 For iPhone: Coming Next Week, A New Era For The iPhone By David Phelan More recently, on June 2, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman commented on the topic in his Power On newsletter. “Fifteen years after the first iPad went on sale, WhatsApp is now on the tablet. And, yes, it’s just a precursor to the most highly anticipated iPad app ever: Instagram,” he said, revealing that Meta employees are actively testing Instagram and that the “development work is full steam ahead.

The company that operates Snapchat asked a federal judge this week to put on hold — or reject — a lawsuit filed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier alleging violations of a 2024 state law aimed at keeping children off some social-media platforms. Attorneys for Snap Inc. argued in a 49-page filing Wednesday that Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker should issue a stay of Uthmeier’s lawsuit while a case filed last year by the tech-industry groups NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association plays out. The industry groups, which allege the law (HB 3) violates First Amendment rights, are seeking a preliminary injunction to block the measure. “Snap — through its membership in NetChoice — and the attorney general have fully briefed and submitted their arguments on the motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin HB 3 under the First Amendment, and a decision granting that motion would dramatically affect the disputes in the present case,” Snap’s attorneys wrote. “Allowing the present case to proceed before that decision would be duplicative, wasteful, and unfair.” But if Walker turns down the request for a stay, Snap argued he should dismiss Uthmeier’s lawsuit. The law seeks to prevent children under
