WhatsApp Launches 'Remind Me' Feature to Organize Replies - Jordan News

WhatsApp Launches 'Remind Me' Feature to Organize Replies WhatsApp has announced the launch of a new feature aimed at enhancing productivity, called 'Remind Me.' The feature is designed to help users manage unread messages and respond to them more efficiently. اضافة اعلان This feature is currently available in the latest beta version of the app on Android (version v2.25.21.14). It allows users to set reminders for specific messages they may not be able to respond to immediately. The new feature reduces the likelihood of forgetting to reply to messages, such as birthday wishes or family event messages, making interactions more organized and timely. How Does the 'Remind Me' Feature Work in WhatsApp? According to information shared by WABetaInfo, the feature works as follows: The user selects a specific message within a chat. Then, they tap on the three-dot menu in the upper corner. Next, they choose the 'Remind Me' option. The user can then select a reminder interval: 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, or set a custom time and date. Once the set time is reached, WhatsApp sends a notification reminding the user about the specific message. A small bell icon appears next to the message that has a reminder set. When the reminder time arrives, a notification appears highlighting the message and conversation, making it easy to return to without scrolling through all messages. Additional Features Coming Soon In addition to 'Remind Me,' WhatsApp is currently testing a new AI-powered tool called 'Quick Recap.' This feature is designed to provide a brief and fast overview of long conversations. The tool relies on Meta AI technologies and helps users grasp the content of conversations without having to read through every single message.

How to Hide Your "Online" Status on WhatsApp Without Disconnecting from the Internet - Jordan News

How to Hide Your "Online" Status on WhatsApp Without Disconnecting from the Internet With WhatsApp being one of the most widely used instant messaging apps, many users are seeking more privacy—particularly when it comes to hiding their "online" status. Fortunately, Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has introduced a feature that allows users to hide their online presence without needing to go offline. This feature is part of a broader rollout of advanced privacy tools and is now available for all users on Android and iPhone devices. It enables you to control who can see when you're online. اضافة اعلان How to Enable the Feature: Open the WhatsApp app on your phone. Go to Settings. Tap Privacy. Select Last Seen & Online. Under Who can see when I'm online, choose Same as Last Seen or Nobody. Once enabled, no one will be able to see that you're online—even while you're actively using the app. You won't need to enable airplane mode or disconnect from the internet to stay hidden. Can You Still Reply to Messages While Hidden? Yes. This feature does not affect your ability to send or receive messages. You can chat and reply normally, and your contacts won't know you're online at that moment. Additional Steps to Enhance Privacy: Hide "Last Seen" from specific contacts. Enable disappearing messages in sensitive conversations. Turn off read receipts (blue checkmarks) for even more privacy. These options give users more control over their visibility and data while staying connected seamlessly. Source: Youm7

Ukraine to launch Starlink mobile internet in 2026, becoming Europe's first

Ammon News - Ukraine will become the first European nation to offer Starlink mobile services when leading operator Kyivstar launches messaging by year-end and mobile satellite broadband in mid-2026, Chief Executive Oleksandr Komarov said. Field tests have begun under an end-2024 deal with Space X's commercial broadband constellation to allow tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's company to launch direct-to-cell services in the war-torn country. Direct-to-cell devices connect to satellites equipped with modems that function like a cellphone tower, beaming telephone signals from space directly to smartphones. "The first phase is over-the-top (OTT) messaging ... so messaging via WhatsApp, Signal, and other systems ... it will be in place at the end of this year," Komarov told Reuters in Rome. "And probably at the beginning of 2026, let's be on the safe side, Q2 2026, we will be able to propose mobile satellite broadband data ... and voice." SpaceX did not respond to an emailed request for comment. US carrier T-Mobile will introduce a data service on its satellite-to-cell network, powered by Starlink, at the start of October, the company said in June. Reuters
