ChatGPT, the popular language model that can provide assistance on various topics such as poetry, puzzles, and coding, has recently gained attention for its integration with the widely used messaging platform, WhatsApp. Although WhatsApp does not officially support ChatGPT, users can now integrate it into their messaging system through third-party tools. For instance, a developer has created a Python script that utilizes a language library to enable ChatGPT to respond to your WhatsApp messages. This feature can be particularly helpful for those who are short on time and cannot respond to every message they receive. The script can be found on GitHub.

Doctors assist in childbirth over WhatsApp call in J-K's snow-covered Keran

An air evacuation was required to take the patient to a hospital with maternity facilities as Keran remained cut off from the rest of Kupwara district during the winter.

With snowfall ruling out the possibility of airlift, a pregnant woman who had a history of labour complications in the remote Keran in Jammu and Kashmir was assisted by doctors in delivering a healthy baby over a WhatsApp call.
"On Friday night, we received a patient in labour at the Keran PHC (primary health centre) with history of complicated delivery with eclampsia, prolonged labour and episiotomy," Block Medical Officer of Kralpora Dr Mir Mohammad Shafi said.
An air evacuation was required to take the patient to a hospital with maternity facilities as Keran remained cut off from the rest of Kupwara district during the winter.

Report: WhatsApp's new feature allows users to pin messages in a chat

WhatsApp's new feature to offer pinning messages in chat

WhatsApp Business is reportedly developing a new feature that allows users to pin messages in a chat, according to WABetaInfo. The pin messages feature is currently in its beta version 2.23.3.17 for Android. This feature is useful in group conversations as it highlights important topics.
Telegram has had a similar feature for some time, enabling multiple messages to be pinned. However, there is no information on when this feature will be rolled out.

The apex court was hearing a plea challenging the contract entered into between WhatsApp and its parent company Meta to provide access to calls, photographs, texts, videos and documents shared by users.

Privacy policy case: SC asks WhatsApp to give wide publicity to undertaking given to Centre in 2021

The apex court was hearing a plea challenging the contract entered into between WhatsApp and its parent company Meta to provide access to calls, photographs, texts, videos and documents shared by users.

The Supreme Court on February 1 directed WhatsApp to widely publicise its undertaking given to the Centre that it will not limit functionality for users not agreeing to its 2021 privacy policy but will continue to remind users about the update, and &ldquo;maintain this approach&rdquo; till the proposed data protection law comes into effect.
In a letter written to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on May 22, 2021, WhatsApp had assured the government that the privacy of users remains the highest priority and that it will not limit the functionality.
The apex court was hearing a plea filed by two students -- Karmanya Singh Sareen and Shreya Sethi -- challenging the contract entered into between WhatsApp and its parent Facebook to provide access to calls, photographs, texts, videos and documents shared by users, saying it is a violation of their privacy and free speech.
Observing that the matter needs consideration, a five-judge Constitution bench headed by Justice K M Joseph asked the mobile messaging app to give advertisements in five newspapers to publicise its 2021 undertaking given to the government.

"We record the stand taken in the letter dated May 22, 2021 (to the government) and we record the submission of the senior counsel for WhatsApp that they will abide by the terms of the letter till next date of hearing.
"We further direct that WhatsApp will give publicity to this aspect for the benefit of the customers of WhatsApp in five national newspapers on two occasions. Advertisements shall be full page and will necessarily incorporate the stand taken in the letter," said the bench also comprising justices Ajay Rastogi, Aniruddha Bose, Hrishikesh Roy, and C T Ravikumar while posting the matter for hearing on April 11.
As the hearing commenced, Attorney General R Venkataramani, appearing for the Centre, said Parliament may also look into the WhatsApp matter.
"For any reason, if the Court might orient the Parliamentary debate or the public consultation, it may not ....that is one concern," he said.
The bench clarified that it was not looking into the Legislature&rsquo;s functioning.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said a data protection bill will be introduced in the second half of Parliament's Budget session.
"Parliament session has started. It's in two phases. The second session is likely to start from March 13. Subject to the Bill getting approval from Cabinet it is intended to be presented in the second half of this session, i.e., March 13-April 6," he said.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the messaging app, said the court should await the passage of the bill by Parliament.
"It is not just ordinary legislation. It has ramifications on investment, freedom of speech, privacy etc...It will impact every other intermediary. If it is between now and July, what is the harm. It took 6 years for the European Union(EU) to pass the Bill.
Senior advocate Arvind Datar, appearing for Meta, the company which owns Facebook, said the petitioners have no ground to challenge the policy.
"There are regulations, guidelines in place. There is not a single complaint and they are challenging everything in air," he added.
Defending the privacy policy of the messaging app, Sibal submitted there are 600 million subscribers in India.
He said no personal messages on the messaging app can ever be read by any person including WhatsApp and it's encrypted end to end.
"There are two global regimes. First is the regime followed in USA and other countries. While the other is European regime. That's a matter that law will decide. I want to disabuse your lordships of the impression that whatever we say by way of message is known to a third person. Not even by WhatsApp.
"What is the information we have? Your name, phone number, that&rsquo;s all. That is the information we have. Basically, it is the phone number. But nothing to do with content, nothing to do with personal data," Sibal said adding that the data is not even stored by us, it is stored in individual phone.
He said since 2009 there has been no complaint from users in India that any personal information has been revealed to anybody or is known to anybody.
"WhatsApp does not process personal sensitive data. That is our policy," Sibal added.
Senior advocate K V Vishwanathan, appearing for the Internet Freedom Foundation, said the 2021 privacy policy which collects large data doesn't provide opt out policy.
"Let them give us the opt out policy. They want this unregulated situation to continue," he said.
Referring to the stand taken by WhatsApp, senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for the petitioners, said there is a dramatic difference between the policy being applied in certain jurisdictions in other countries and in India.
He submitted that the stand taken by WhatsApp with respect to subscribers in Europe is different from the ones in India.
The apex court on Tuesday had said it will examine whether it should consider now the plea challenging WhatsApp's policy to share users' data with parent company Facebook and others or will it be a mere "academic" exercise, after the Centre submitted that it was going to bring a data protection bill in the Budget Session.
It had observed that there was no harm in waiting for the Bill to be tabled and "heavens are not going to fall in the meanwhile".

They are end-to-end encrypted and will remain live for 24 hours until manually erased before then.

The messages will be marked with a special icon to show that they have been saved and can be deleted at any time. The availability of this feature is not yet known as it is still in development.
The disappearing messages feature, which launched in 2021, is inspired by apps like Snapchat. It allows users to communicate in a more private manner. Unlike Snapchat, however, WhatsApp messages are secured by end-to-end encryption.

WhatsApp's new feature can help users to use the messaging service even without internet.

WhatsApp’s new proxy server feature can bypass internet shutdowns 

WhatsApp's new feature can help users to use the messaging service even without internet.

WhatsApp has added a new feature that allows users to access the app via a proxy server allowing it to be used even when the internet is down. This functionality might be beneficial when a governing authority restricts access to particular services.
 A proxy server functions like a middleman for a device or service and the internet. So, if a government limits access to WhatsApp in a location, users may input the address of an unblocked proxy server and use the messaging service through that server.
 WhatsApp will not provide proxy servers to users so they will have to find one that is available in their region and enter its address in the app. While using the app through a proxy server, messages and data will still be end-to-end encrypted.

WhatsApp will be ending support for certain Android and iPhone models. The list of 49 smartphones includes popular devices like iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.

Whatsapp to stop working on older iPhones and Androids

WhatsApp will be ending support for certain Android and iPhone models. The list of 49 smartphones includes popular devices like iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.

It's that time of year again where WhatsApp will be ending support for certain Android and iPhone models. This shouldn't be a cause for concern for most users, as the support being discontinued is for phones with outdated and old operating systems.
According to GizChina, nearly 49 smartphones from various brands, including Apple and Samsung, will no longer be able to receive updates or access the messaging platform after December 31st.
It's worth noting that the majority of these phones are quite old and may not even be in use by many people. The list of smartphones includes popular devices like iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. If you are using one of the listed devices, you may want to consider upgrading to a newer model in order to continue using WhatsApp.
