WhatsApp is working on new feature on Web
Ammon News - The organised chat WhatsApp Web Centralised Media Hub will incorporate a new feature which is focused on increasing user productivity alongside their work on WhatsApp Web. Users will be able to access photos, videos of shared documents, and links through one folder as opposed to scrolling through multiple conversations, making it faster, simpler, and easier for them to retrieve files. The feature appears to have been integrated into the beta update for earlier users. Meta's WhatsApp has not yet revealed all the features so a release date is under wraps, but early hints are suggesting it might come with some new updates.
WhatsApp Web New Beta
Several insider reports claim that the company is integrating a WhatsApp centralised media hub on its web version to ease media management across all shared content. WaBetaInfo also confirmed that the concept was captured recently but is still yet to undergo further innovative adjustments through their most recent beta update.
This new media hub was spotted in a WhatsApp Web beta version, and it also follows in Android beta version 2.24.13.4. Although not yet present on the mobile application, this feature is likely to enhance the ease of accessing and managing WhatsApp media files on WhatsApp Web.
Key Features of WhatsApp Web Media Hub
Centralised Access Point:
A dedicated sidebar tab to view all shared media — images, videos, and GIFs — from across chats.
Advanced Search & Filters:
Users can perform keyword-based searches and filter files by date for easier navigation.
Media Details Displayed:
Each file will show the sender's name, date shared, and file size.
Multi-File Selection:
A 'Select' button will allow users to choose multiple media items for actions like:
1. Delete
2. Download
3. Forward
Storage Management:
Helps users organize and clean up large or unnecessary files, improving storage efficiency on connected devices.
Availability
- Current Status: Under development for WhatsApp Web
- Mobile App: Feature not yet rolled out for Android or iOS
- Rollout Timeline: No official release date has been confirmed
The addition of a media hub within the Web version of WhatsApp may drastically improve the experience users have by making the storing, searching, and managing of media easier. With this update, there is a continued focus on enabling greater data control and productivity powered across the suite of applications.

Google makes case for keeping Chrome browser
Ammon News - Google on Friday urged a US judge to reject the notion of making it spin off its Chrome browser to weaken its dominance in online search. Rival attorneys made their final arguments before US District Court Judge Amit Mehta, who is considering imposing "remedies" after a landmark decision last year that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in search. US government attorneys have called on Mehta to order Google to divest itself of Chrome browser, contending that artificial intelligence is poised to ramp up the tech giant's dominance as the go-to window into the internet. They also want Google barred from agreements with partners such as Apple and Samsung to distribute its search tools, which was the focus of the suit against the Silicon Valley internet giant. Three weeks of testimony ended early in May, with Friday devoted to rival sides parsing points of law and making their arguments before Mehta in a courtroom in Washington. John Schmidtlein, an attorney for Google, told Mehta that there was no evidence presented showing people would have opted for a different search engine without the exclusivity deals in place. Schmidtlein noted that Verizon installed Chrome on smartphones even though the US telecom titan owned Yahoo! search engine and was not bound by a contract with Google. Of the 100 or so witnesses heard at trial, not one said "if I had more flexibility, I would have installed Bing" search engine from Microsoft, the Google attorney told the judge. Economic Times

China's DeepSeek releases an update to its R1 reasoning model
Ammon News - Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek released an update to its R1 reasoning model in the early hours of Thursday, stepping up competition with U.S. rivals such as OpenAI. DeepSeek launched R1-0528 on developer platform Hugging Face, but has yet to make an official public announcement. It did not publish a description of the model or comparisons. But the LiveCodeBench leaderboard, a benchmark developed by researchers from UC Berkeley, MIT, and Cornell, ranked DeepSeek's updated R1 reasoning model just slightly behind OpenAI's o4 mini and o3 reasoning models on code generation and ahead of xAI's Grok 3 mini and Alibaba's Qwen 3.
