Messengers

WhatsApp's new feature not only simplifies the process of transferring chats but also ensures enhanced security, as data is only shared between the two devices over the local network and remains encrypted during the transfer.

In an exciting announcement, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, revealed that the messaging app will be introducing Stories next month. This highly requested feature will allow users to share vibrant moments from their lives with their contacts.

One of the key additions is the option to silence calls from unknown numbers. Users can now enable this feature in the privacy settings, which will mute incoming calls from unfamiliar numbers.

Looking ahead, Discord plans to continue experimenting with monetization. One upcoming feature is the introduction of Server Shop, where server owners can sell digital and downloadable products to their subscribers.

The new feature called Chat Lock allows users to keep individual conversations more private by locking them and placing them in specialized folders that are only accessible via biometrics or by entering a phone's password.

Today, connecting with someone on WhatsApp requires sharing phone numbers, which could sometimes lead to privacy concerns. However, with the introduction of usernames, users can add contacts and initiate conversations without exchanging phone numbers.

Whether it's a simple typo, an autocorrect fail, or an afterthought, users can now effortlessly edit their messages without deleting and resending them, making chats more seamless and less cluttered.
