iPhone users can finally copy chunks of WhatsApp messages.
The WhatsApp for iOS 25.16.81 update that's rolling out over the coming weeks allows users to hold down on a message to select and copy specific sections, instead of being forced to copy the entire message text. Android users are still stuck with this limitation for now, but WABetaInfo reports that a similar update is in the works.

The Kind of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Warren Buffett Might Buy (if He Invested in AI)
Alphabet meets many of Warren Buffett's investment requirements. Alphabet faces some headwinds that could be difficult to overcome, but not impossible. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › Warren Buffett, the long-time CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), is known to avoid investing in companies that he doesn't understand and is not one to invest in cutting-edge technology. You can't fault the strategy when you consider Buffett's extraordinary career, which is coming to a close this year. But that doesn't mean individual investors can't apply Buffett's investing principles to various AI companies to identify stocks that would interest him if he were an AI investor. There's one company that checks all of Buffett's primary boxes when looking for a stock, and it's right under everyone's nose. Buffett is a value investor at heart, and he likes businesses that generate a ton of cash flow. Brand value is another item that he considers. But perhaps the biggest factor is the price he must pay for a stock. Buffett doesn't like overpaying for businesses and prefers to buy them at a discount to where they should be trading. One company checks all of these boxes: Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL). Alphabet's brand value can't be disputed, as its properties like Google, YouTube, and the Android operating system are at the top of their respective industries (Android is much more popular outside of the U.S.). It's also a free-cash-flow-generating machine, turning 21% of revenue into free cash flow over the past 12 months. This number is a bit deflated due to Alphabet's massive investments in building data centers meant for AI and cloud computing. Still, these expenses will eventually drop, which will cause Alphabet's FCF to explode higher. Lastly is Alphabet's price tag, which is incredibly cheap compared to its peers. At 19 times trailing earnings and 18 times forward earnings, Alphabet's stock is at some of the cheapest levels it has reached in some time. Alphabet's stock looks quite inexpensive compared to the broader market (as measured by the S&P 500, which trades at 22.4 times forward earnings). With Alphabet checking those three primary boxes for Buffett, it may be a stock he'd consider buying if he were an AI investor, but there may also be some reasons to stay away. There's a reason that Alphabet's stock has gotten this cheap, and it has to deal with three primary issues: AI challenging search Economic headwinds Government lawsuits The biggest and most obvious challenge Alphabet faces is to its primary product: Google Search. Google Search is trying to defend its market share from generative AI products, and there are some predictions that a typical Google search will become a thing of the past as generative AI becomes more prevalent. This is far too aggressive of a prediction, as Google already offers AI search overviews, bridging the gap between traditional search and a full AI experience. While Google will undoubtedly lose some users to AI, it's hard to imagine the masses switching overnight. Next, investors are worried about Alphabet's advertising business during an economic downturn. About three-quarters of Alphabet's revenue comes from ad revenue, so it's a very important market. However, the economic uncertainty caused by tariffs could trigger a downturn or a recession, hurting Alphabet's ad market. While this is possible, economic downturns are not new, and Alphabet weathered multiple downturns throughout its life. It's equipped to handle this, and the ad markets always bounce back stronger than before after a downturn. Lastly, there are the government issues. Alphabet has been found guilty in two court cases of having an illegal monopoly, one in its search business and another in its advertising platform. We're still years away from knowing the outcome, as multiple appeals will occur to challenge the court's findings. At the end of the day, I think there's a low chance that Alphabet is broken up, mainly due to the AI headwinds it's already facing. There may be some concessions at the end of the day, but Alphabet will likely be intact five years from now. I don't believe that Alphabet's three primary threats are much to worry about, which is why I think investors should be willing to buy Alphabet while it's on sale. Buffett might be thinking the same thing, and you never know if he wants to make one more splash in the investment world before he retires.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says 'the long national nightmare of the Apple tax' is over
Tim Sweeney won, and he's out celebrating. After a five-year battle with Apple, Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, won a massive victory in court last month. Apple must tear down its proverbial walled garden and allow for more competition and payment methods on its App Store. It will no longer be able to take a 27% fee from US developers who direct users to make purchases externally. And that means that Epic's popular game, Fortnite, is coming back to iOS. "Apple's stay is denied by the 9th Circuit Court. The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended," Sweeney said on X on Wednesday. "May next week's WWDC be the Apple-led celebration of freedom that developers and users have long deserved." In the comments, he added: "Apple is free to make money by fairly competing to offer services such as payments and ads to willing buyers." Apple is hosting its annual Worldwide Developers Conference at its Apple Park campus next week, where it usually unveils new products and platforms. Last year, it unveiled Apple Intelligence, a new personal intelligence system that incorporates generative AI into writing tools, message summaries, and email suggestions. It's not clear how the ruling will impact conference programming — Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Apple has said it will comply with the ruling, though it also plans to appeal the court order. In a blog post on Thursday, Apple issued a defense of its global app emporium. "The global App Store ecosystem facilitated $1.3 trillion in developer billings and sales in 2024," it said, noting that for 90% of the transactions it facilitated, developers did not pay any commission to Apple. The App Store attracts over 813 million average weekly visitors worldwide, and spending across three categories — digital goods and services, physical goods and services, and in-app advertising — has more than doubled since 2019, according to Apple. Spending on in-app advertising, especially, has "helped keep many apps free or low-cost for users," the company said. Sweeney, however, is looking forward to a new, more egalitarian era for the App Store, and anticipates two levels of change. The first, as he described to BI's Peter Kafka, will be that "all users are free to learn about better deals from all developers, and all developers are free to not just accept payments outside of the app on the web, but to tell users about those alternative ways to pay and to give consumers better deals. That's a key economic gain here." The second is that "Apple would step up and compete, give developers a much better deal than 30%, and actually engage in competition," he said.
