WhatsApps amazing new feature will let users edit messages after sending: Heres how

WhatsApp has been recently bringing in a lot of updates like- Chat transfer without Google Drive, Keep in Chat, Chat-lock, group and companion devices using the same WhatsApp, side-by-side chats and so on. But these were majorly for WhatsApp Beta version for Android phones. 

Now WhatsApp is bringing a new feature for the beta version of WhatsApp Web. This is still under testing, but this feature will allow users to edit messages that they have already sent. Yes, you read that right! This feature is available for just a few WhatsApp beta users at the moment and if it's a success, then it will definitely be rolled out to all users. So, what is the feature all about and how does it work? Let's have a look at that…

Edit Message feature of WhatsApp 

This feature will allow you to edit any message that you have already sent to someone on WhatsApp. As of now the editing will be possible only for a certain period of time, just like earlier the ‘delete for everyone’ option was available only for a certain time period. As of now in the beta version of WhatsApp Web, a message can be edited within the next 5 minutes – not just once, but multiple times within that time window.

This reminds us of the time iOS 16 was launched and it came with the feature of editing texts within the next 15 minutes of sending a text on the Messaging app, but there was a limitation of five edits only. 

Tips reveal that the feature will soon be available for the WhatsApp Beta users for Android and iOS. Also, once you edit a message the receiver gets a notification about the same. The testing is on and hopefully it will be rolled out to all users soon.

Now, after the testing is conducted smoothly and the pros and cons of the feature are looked into only then it will be first available to all beta users and further on to all users. So, still there is enough time for the feature to reach you.

The Oppo smartphone will have a flat frame probably of plastic, if it isn't aluminium. It has a punch-hole cutout right at the centre for the front camera of the phone. At the back of the phone, the panel has dual rings with triple camera sensors and the flash. The rings have the Oppo specific glow design. According to the teaser the phone is Gold in colour but of course more colour variants are expected.

Specifications of the Oppo F23 5G

The Oppo F23 5G as the teaser suggests should have a 120Hz display, which is possibly an IPS LCD. The phone’s power is in the good hands of the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, but the exact SoC is unknown as of now but it is expected to have the Snapdragon 695 SoC. 

The power button is to the right with a fingerprint sensor embedded in it and from the trailer it can be guessed that the volume controller should be to the left. Coming to the RAM and storage, the smartphone should come with 8GB RAM and 256 GB storage, accompanied by 8GB virtual RAM.

On Mirage, the Ninjas in Pyjamas stretched their game against OG into overtime, getting their second win of the tournament playing on Mirage.

Towards the end of the day, we moved on to the best of three matches. The first one on the list had G2 pitted against Apeks, who at the start of the day were at the top of the charts. G2 registered back-to-back wins on Anubis and Inferno to seal the deal quickly and secure their spot in the Legends stage, finishing 1-2 in the Challengers stage.

Truecaller to offer spam protection for WhatsApp calls: Why does it matter

Meta and Truecaller are working together to prevent spam calls on WhatsApp. For those who don't know, Truecaller is a service that is used for caller identification and spam call-blocking methods. Now it’s unclear how this would work; whether spam calls will be actively blocked prior to them reaching a WhatsApp user.

Also read: No more fraud calls, thanks to TRAI’s AI-based spam call filter: How it will work

The feature is presently being evaluated in a beta setting, according to Truecaller CEO Alan Mamedi, and it will be made available globally later this month. 

In the current times wherein fraudulent calls are ever so increasing, this could be the solution WhatsApp users need. 

Also read: WhatsApp feature will let GIFs play automatically: Here’s how

Mamedi noted that the country with the largest market for the company, India, had seen an increase in spam calls made using WhatsApp. Therefore, it makes sense for Meta and Truecaller to collaborate and solve this issue before it spreads and becomes a major problem for WhatsApp users.

Incidentally, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is also working on AI-based spam call filter. However, this seems to be for regular cellular calls only.

In related news, several citizens have alleged of receiving scam calls from unknown international numbers. These come in both video and voice formats. These numbers carry country codes like Malaysia (+60), Vietnam (+84), Ethiopia (+251), Indonesia (+62), Kenya (+254), etc. 

Some spam call examples include: 

+1 (202) 972-4547 +62 838-6620-5224 +84 38 341 6618 +1 (938) 336-5344 +62 822-1897-3796 +7 903 858-27-50 +1 (812) 777-7539 +62 895-4007-39893

CS:GO Paris Major 2023: Apeks lead the charts as Day 1 of the Challengers stage comes to a close

Day 1 of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 packed all the action that the fans could demand from the last Major tournament of the game. There were surprises, upsets, and everything that makes CS:GO the fan-favourite eSport that it is. As we had prefaced in our article yesterday, the first day of the Challengers stage held a lot of importance for the teams as they looked to get off the blocks with their guns blazing. And, while some teams were up to speed right away, the others had to toil hard to get things started. 

Paris Major 2023 Challengers stage - Day 1 - Perfect balance of emotions and competition

The first match of the day had FaZe Clan facing off against Monte. At the start of the game, FaZe looked like a shadow of their former selves that had been crowned the Major Champions exactly a year ago. But, as the game went on, they recovered and showed the world that they are here to stay. After staging a comeback against Monte, they were pitted against paiN Gaming, and sealed a 16-12 win. Monte, on the other hand, after having a rough start to their campaign, faced off against Fluxo. There the team that at one point gave FaZe a run for their money, proved their mettle by defeating Fluxo with a convincing 8-16 scoreline in their favour.

Before getting their dreams handed to them on a copper platter by FaZe, paiN gaming, in their first game of the day, had faced off against Fluxo, defeating them 16-2. The other games of the day had G2 defeating TheMongolz 16-11. Complexity twisting GamerLegion’s arms into a 16-11 win, and Grayhound, out of nowhere, defeating Forze by a two-point margin, 14-16 in their favour.

Apeks asked the hopes and dreams of North American CS to sit down as they romped past a rather meak-looking Team Liquid to seal their first win of the Challengers stage. After having a rather eventful run the RMR stages, Ninjas in Pyjamas, trumped over Mouz, winning the game 16-9. The match between OG and ENCE was something that set the tone for the end of the day. OG were thrashed by ENCE, who raced home with a 6-16 win. G2, also added to their tally of wins, by evening out Complexity’s win-to-loss ratio as their game ended 9-16 in G2’s favour.

Doubling down on their win against Team Liquid, Apeks gave us the first flawless map of the tournament, when they defeated Grayhound gaming 16-0. Greyhound’s win, followed by a loss was met with mixed reactions on Twitter as it had a massive impact on the Pick ‘ems of players across the globe, potentially costing them a chance at the Diamond coin. ENCE continued on their run of form, racing home with a 16-9 win against NiP.

At the time of writing, four more matches had been played on effectively the second day of the Challengers stage. We had OG beat MOUZ (11-16), FORZE winning against Team Liquid who have one step already in de_airport, TheMongolz bouncing back to winning ways against GamerLegion, and Monte, registering a 16-8 win against Fluxo.

As it stands, here’s how things look in terms of team standings in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 –

With two more days to go in the Challengers stage, an surprise wins and upsets being the motto of tournament so far, the lines are rather blurred. However, as it stands, if Apeks, Faze, G3, and ENCE are able to continue their run of form into the coming games, it looks like they are all set to make it past into the Legends stage.

Here's a look at the schedule for Day 2 of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers stage –
