  • WhatsApp rolling out ‘Report status updates’ feature on Android beta

    Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature, which will allow users to report status updates, on Android beta. Beta testers will see a new “report” action within the status options, reports WABetaInfo.

    With the new feature, users can report any status update that might violate the Terms of Service, which will then be sent to the company’s moderation team.

    Also, the feature makes sure that the messages, media, location sharing, calls and status updates are all protected by end-to-end encryption on all devices.

    This means that no one else, not even WhatsApp, Meta and a proxy provider, can read the users’ personal messages and listen to their private calls.

    The new feature is useful as it will make the platform safe and secure for all users.

    The ability to report status updates is available for some beta testers after installing the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android on the Play Store, and is expected to roll out to more users over the coming days, the report said.

    In January, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on this feature for Android beta.

  • WhatsApp rolls out Chat Threads to beta testers

    WhatsApp is working on a number of features that will enable users to interact with the company. One of those features is Chat Threads. In the past, reports have talked about such a feature being in the works at the company. Now, a new report gives more details about it. WABetaInfo, the tipster that tracks development in the Facebook-owned messaging platform, says that WhatsApp has finally released the Chat Threads feature for specific beta testers on Android. This means that not all beta testers have access to this feature yet. If you are a beta test, you can verify if this feature is enabled for you by going to the Settings menu in WhatsApp and then tapping on the Contact Us option in the Help section. If you have got the access to the feature, you would see a dialogue box where you can type in your issue. You can also select if you want to give away technical details about your phone, such as your phone’s model and settings, to WhatsApp so that it is able to solve your queries better. Once you send the message, WhatsApp will start a Chat Thread that will appear in the main menu alongside your other chats. It will close once your query has been resolved. Windows 10 users can now access Microsoft Power Automate Desktop for free

    Microsoft on Thursday announced that it was making its Power Automate Desktop solution for Windows 10 available to Windows 10 users in the country for free. The company’s low-code automation system allows businesses to automate certain tasks — especially repetitive and manual ones, as part of its Power Automate Service.

    Running a business today involves a lot of constantly changing factors, some of them out of the control of those at the helm — such as the novel coronavirus pandemic. Performing manual tasks repetitively can impact employee productivity, according to the company. Power Automate Desktop for Windows 10 features a low-code Robotic Process Automate (RPA) application which essentially automates these tedious tasks and helps streamline workflows, the company said on Thursday. Microsoft’s Power Automate Desktop system allows companies to record actions such as mouse and keyboard clicks as part of the RPA solution that was first announced at Microsoft Ignite in 2019. Once a user has recorded those actions, they can be “re-played” repeatedly, on various applications like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel and Sharepoint.
