Meta is adding AI-powered summaries to WhatsApp
Meta announced on Wednesday that it's adding an AI-powered summaries feature to WhatsApp. The optional new feature uses Meta AI to summarize unread messages in a chat. This summary would only be visible to you, not others in your chat, the company notes. The feature builds on the AI technology that Meta released in April, which allowed the company to implement AI features that don't impact encryption or user privacy. 'Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology, which allows Meta AI to generate a response without Meta or WhatsApp ever seeing your messages or the private summaries. No one else in the chat can see that you summarized unread messages either,' the company said in a blog post. Image Credits: Meta Meta is initially rolling out the feature in the U.S. with English language support. It will reach more countries and languages later this year. Until now, users could access Meta AI within the chat to ask general questions or tag a message to give the chatbot context. However, Meta AI couldn't read your messages. Meta said that the new stack allows WhatsApp to access context from your chat privately to process requests through its AI. This allows it to summarize messages or provide writing suggestions.

Where is Iran's enriched uranium? Questions loom after Trump claims victory.
WASHINGTON − Amid President Donald Trump's scramble to save the Israel-Iran ceasefire and his claims to have "obliterated" Iranian nuclear sites, a key question remains unanswered − where's the uranium? Trump's June 23 ceasefire announcement came after his administration said it destroyed three of Iran's major nuclear facilities – Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The U.S. strikes "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump said June 21 after the bombs were dropped. Initial assessments showed all three sites "sustained extremely severe damage and destruction," Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters. But watchers of Iran's nuclear program say a massive question mark looms over the U.S. operation – what happened to Iran's enriched uranium? That's "not the question before us," Vice President JD Vance said in a June 23 Fox News interview, dodging the question of what happened to Iran's uranium stockpile. The bombing had, more importantly, destroyed Tehran's ability to enrich uranium to the level needed for a nuclear weapon, he said. "I do think that the uranium was buried," he added. Nuclear experts disagreed. "Significant nuclear materials remain unaccounted for," said Kelsey Davenport, the Arms Control Association's director for nonproliferation policy. "Our understanding is that some of them were taken away by Iran, and we don't know where they are," David Albright, a former United Nations nuclear weapons inspector, said of the enriched uranium stockpiles in a June 24 CNN interview. More: Inside the attack: Details revealed of secret US mission to bomb Iran Satellite images showed new craters at the Fordow and Natanz facilities where U.S. "bunker buster" bombs made impact. "It is clear that Fordow was also directly impacted, but the degree of damage inside the uranium enrichment halls can't be determined with certainty,' Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a June 22 report. Officials and nuclear experts say most of Iran's enriched uranium was stored in an underground complex near the Isfahan facility, which the U.S. struck with Tomahawk missiles fired from a Navy submarine, demolishing several above-ground facilities, satellite images show. Grossi reported damage to several buildings and entrances to the underground storage tunnels, but it's unclear what happened to any uranium that may have been held in the tunnels. "It does not appear like the underground facility has been targeted at all," said Sam Lair, a research associate at Middlebury College's James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. "Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan all include deeply buried facilities where it will be challenging to assess the extent of the damage without boots on the ground at these sites," said Davenport. Lair said Iran had ample time to move enriched uranium out of the underground tunnels before Israel first struck the facility on June 13. Even if they had not yet moved the uranium by the time Israel launched its first attack of the 12-day conflict, "they had a period where Isfahan was not being targeted, and they could have done so," he said. Satellite images from Maxar Technology captured vehicles activity at Fordow in the days leading up to the U.S. strikes, including a line of cargo trucks parked outside. And Hassan Abedini, deputy political director for Iran's state broadcaster, told reporters after the U.S. bombing that Iran "didn't suffer a major blow because the materials had already been taken out." Iran's enriched uranium is central to Israeli and U.S. justifications for their attacks. According to the IAEA, Iran has enriched more than 400 kilograms − about 880 pounds − of uranium to 60%, enough to make around nine nuclear weapons if it is further enriched to weapons grade, which is around 90%. "The risk posed by the 60% enriched uranium is amplified because Iran may have also stashed centrifuges at an undeclared site," said Davenport. On June 13, the day Israel launched its attack on Iran, citing the dangers of its nuclear program, the IAEA said Iran had revealed plans for a new enrichment site. "The Iranians, on some level, were preparing for an outcome similar to this," Lair said. Another site is "ready to have centrifuges installed somewhere, and not very many people are talking about it." On June 24, Iranian nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami told Mehr News the nuclear program – which Iran asserts is peaceful – would be restored. "The plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services," Eslami said. But Trump vowed in a post on Truth Social: "IRAN WILL NEVER REBUILD THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES!"

Swinney apology to Gypsy Travellers ‘significant milestone', campaigner says
A campaigner has lauded the First Minister's apology over the 'cultural genocide' of Gypsy Travellers in Scotland as a 'significant milestone' for her community. Roseanna McPhee welcomed the apology, which she said was the result of years of campaigning. John Swinney made the formal apology at Holyrood on Thursday over 'unfair and unjust policies' that caused 'trauma' in what was known as the 'tinker experiment'. Between 1940 and 1980, the so-called experiment – supported by councils and the UK Government – attempted to strip away the nomadic lifestyle of Gypsy Travellers, providing rudimentary and often cramped huts for people to live in. A report published by the Scottish Government stated that 'the context within which the TE (tinker experiment) occurred is best understood as cultural genocide'. Ms McPhee, whose family was among those settled in Pitlochry on the former Bobbin Mill site, had grown up in a prefabricated Second World War-style Nissen hut which had no electricity and used candles for light. She welcomed the First Minister's apology, but said more needed to be done to stop the discrimination that her community continues to face. First Minister @JohnSwinney has apologised in @ScotParl for historical policies affecting Gypsy/Traveller communities, acknowledging they were unacceptable and caused enduring harm. More information here: — Scot Gov Fairer (@ScotGovFairer) June 25, 2025 She told the PA news agency: 'It's a milestone that we have reached in our long, long campaign, with no resources and just two or three generals and few food soldiers, really, because most people want to hide. 'I think the fact we managed to achieve that apology from the Government is a significant milestone. 'We're hopeful that discussions shall move forward, and perhaps something may be done about the general level of racism which we suffer, particularly in relation to public bodies.' Ms McPhee said the apology could have been 'more robust' and expressed disappointment that Mr Swinney did not label the Tinker Experiment as 'cultural genocide', the description used in the report published by the Government. 'Cultural genocide is a crime against humanity,' she said. 'They did not name the offence. They did not say they took full responsibility of the offence. 'However, it's a positive step on the road towards the discussion around restitution and just satisfaction.' Asked if she believed the Scottish Government should offer redress to affected families, she said: 'I absolutely believe it. 'If you'd been kept in degrading conditions as long as I have, with 16 health conditions and prevented from working with a joint-honours degrees and two post-graduates I think you might see some reason to have redress too.'
