The popular messaging app WhatsApp has teased a long-awaited iPad app, which would be offered alongside its existing iPhone and Mac apps. The official WhatsApp account on X today reacted with an eyes emoji to a post saying that WhatsApp should release an iPad app. This could be a hint that Meta is finally gearing up to release WhatsApp for iPad, which has already been available for beta testing via TestFlight for nearly two years. File this news under "finally." With an Instagram app for the iPad also reportedly in the works, it appears that Meta is finally embracing the iPad for some of its most popular apps. In addition to WhatsApp and Instagram, Meta owns Facebook and Threads. There is an iPad app for Facebook, but the Threads app remains iPhone only.

In the final days of a high-stakes antitrust trial, Meta Platforms Inc. rested its defense, urging a federal judge to consider a different vision of the social media landscape — one where Instagram and WhatsApp may have floundered, not flourished, without Meta’s backing. For five weeks, the Federal Trade Commission laid out its case against Meta, portraying the tech giant’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp as anti-competitive moves that stifled innovation and consumer choice. But in the trial’s final week, Meta pushed back, asserting that its stewardship enhanced both platforms, possibly elevating them to heights they could not have reached independently,  according to The Verge. Meta’s legal team concluded its case after just four days in court, having already questioned many witnesses earlier in the trial when they were called by the FTC. Among its final witnesses were WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton and an early Instagram infrastructure leader, who testified that Meta provided critical resources and technical expertise that allowed the apps to scale — contrasting earlier testimony from Instagram cofounder Kevin Systrom. Systrom had claimed Meta withheld tools that could have helped Instagram evolve more safely and robustly. Meta’s core argument hinges on the notion that these apps did

WhatsApp has launched its largest-ever global marketing campaign titled “Not Even WhatsApp.” The campaign, launched by the Meta-owned messaging giant, seeks to emphasize that no one—not even WhatsApp itself—can read or listen to users’ private conversations. End-to-End Encryption Takes Center Stage India as a Key Market for WhatsApp’s Privacy Messaging Aired across TV, digital, out-of-home (OOH), audio, and in-app platforms, the campaign is being rolled out in India, the United States, the UK, Brazil, and Mexico, targeting WhatsApp’s more than 3 billion global users. In India, the campaign will span 16 states, including major regions like Delhi, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, and features a prominent 60-second commercial directed by Achove of Chalk & Cheese Films. The ad, voiced by Aamir Khan in both Hindi and English, was filmed in culturally resonant locations such as the banks of the Yamuna River and Chandni Chowk in Delhi, delivering a familiar backdrop to Indian audiences while pushing a global message.

Barber who shared IS video of beheadings jailed PA Media Mohammed Hamad was part of a WhatsApp group which pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State A barber who admitted sending propaganda videos from the organisation calling itself Islamic State (IS) to a WhatsApp group has been jailed. Liverpool Crown Court heard one of the videos Mohammed Hamad shared in January 2023 was of three prisoners being beheaded in a street. The 30-year-old, who on Tuesday pleaded guilty to two counts of disseminating terrorist publications, was sentenced on Friday to four years in prison.

James Chapelard/Crimestoppers Hamad shared a video of prisoners being beheaded by IS The court heard that when Hamad was arrested at his Liverpool home in March 2024, he claimed to have "lost my phone a long time ago". Prosecutor David Earl said Hamad, who was born in Iraq, came to the UK illegally from Iraqi Kurdistan in 2016. Hamad told authorities his life would be in danger were he to return home, and he also claimed he would be arrested. The court heard Hamad said he studied

Audio hangouts in voice chat are one of WhatsApp's nifty features for group conversations, similar to Discord's voice channels. Meta announced that it is updating this feature within the messenger platform, allowing even larger group chat members to join audio hangouts. Audio hangouts in voice chats were shipped in 2023. They offer specific advantages over the app's standard voice calling feature, such as enabling spontaneous conversations, providing a collapsible chat interface, and allowing users to join or leave the chat without ringing other participants. While the app already supported up to 256 participants in a single chat, this limit has ballooned to more than a thousand in the latest update. Also read: Everything you should know about the new WhatsApp WhatsApp's Discord-like Feature Gets a Boost WhatsApp stated in a press release that Voice Chat's audio hangouts will now accommodate "groups of all sizes," meaning each hangout can now host up to 1,024 participants—quadrupling the previous limit (a nice nod to binary numbers there, Meta!). That's a notably large limit and could work well for many group chats with open memberships. As usual, voice chat audio hangouts will still function for smaller groups, with a minimum of two participants required for each

WhatsApp has expanded its voice chat feature to support groups of all sizes, allowing users to connect via live audio without leaving the group chat or initiating a traditional call. The update, announced this week, builds on a feature previously available only to large groups and is designed for spontaneous, real-time conversations—whether reacting to a football match, a TV show finale, or breaking news. The feature aims to create a more casual, flexible way for groups to stay connected in real time—without disrupting conversations or requiring everyone to join immediately. Announcing the new feature, WhatsApp – in a blog post said “we’re bringing voice chat to groups of all sizes so you can connect live over audio whenever, without having to leave your group chat or switch to a call, that people in your group can hop into whenever they want.” How to start a voice chat on WhatsApp To start a voice chat, users can now swipe up from the bottom of any group chat and hold for a few seconds. Unlike voice or video calls, voice chats do not ring members; instead, they remain quietly accessible within the chat. Participants can join or leave at their convenience, and

You can use AI chatbots like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Meta AI in WhatsApp, letting you interact with them right inside the messaging app. However, after testing them, I'm not convinced that this is the best way to use the AI chatbots, or even if they're worth using at all. 5 WhatsApp’s Interruptions Break My Flow WhatsApp is my main instant messaging platform, and I use it to keep in touch with friends, family, and acquaintances. As such, my account stays busy with messages from contacts and groups throughout the day. With a steady stream of notifications, I found it hard to use an AI chatbot for research in an environment filled with interruptions and a constant urge to check other chats. In my experience, it is hard to stay in the zone when my attention is constantly being pulled in different directions. It's better to use dedicated apps, which provide a better environment for distraction-free focus. Your experience may vary, but for me, productivity did take a hit trying to use AI chatbots on my go-to communication platform. 4 Dedicated Apps Get New AI Features First Using these AI chatbots via official apps means you’re among the first to access
