WhatsApp is changing the way billions of users log into the messaging app, ditching passwords and two-factor authentication in favour of quicker and more secure passkeys. The move is part of a major shift within the tech industry to move away from decades-old password technology and replace it with the more modern passkey format, which combines biometric information like fingerprints with a simple numeric code in order to identify people. A similar switch was recently announced by Google, which will introduce passkeys to its apps like Maps, Search and YouTube. WhatsApp’s update will only impact Android users to begin with. “Passkeys are a new way to log back into your account,” said Will Cathcart, who heads WhatsApp. “This is a more secure way of confirming it’s really you – and gives you an added layer of security.” WhatsApp is also rolling out self-destructing voice notes to users as part of new measures to improve privacy on the world’s most popular messaging app. The update is currently only available for beta tester users who have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on their phone or computer, though it is expected to eventually be introduced for all users. With more than 2.7 billion users worldwide – the majority of which on Android devices – WhatsApp updates typically need to be introduced gradually in order to make sure any potential security bugs do not have a critical impact. The self-destructing audio messages, first spotted by WhatsApp feature tracker Wabetainfo, is compatible with both Android and iOS users, though no date has been given for when a wider roller out might be expected. WhatsApp does not comment on release schedules for feature updates unless they relate to security. “After sending the voice note with view once mode enabled, you won’t be able to listen to it and the recipient can no longer listen to the voice note after dismissing it,” Wabetainfo noted. “This mode effectively minimises the chances of unauthorised access or later listening, providing a new layer of privacy for sensitive and confidential information.” The latest update follows recently added features like ‘Channels’, which allow people to follow celebrities and companies within the app, and a ‘Create’ button that gives users the ability to make custom art on the platform. The Create feature brings generative artificial intelligence to WhatsApp for the first time, and means users do not require external tools or specific design skills to create the stickers. Instead, the custom stickers can be produced using simple text-based prompts, similar to other AI image generators like Midjourney and OpenAI’s Dall-E.

If your relationship is feeling stale, “Alphabet Dating” has been hailed as a great way to inject some fun back into quality time. When in a long-term relationship, it can sometimes be difficult to maintain the fun and spontaneity of the earlier years and to fall back on routines. But content creator Stephanie Booe has shared her tip for getting the spark back with what she has called “alphabet dating”. Alphabet dating involves going through the alphabet and picking a date activity that corresponds to that letter. In one video about the dating trick, Booe revealed that on their A-themed date, she and her partner ate appetisers before going axe-throwing. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter She explained: “We went to a new restaurant, ordered a few appetizers instead of entrees and then we went axe throwing for the first time ever! “This was such an easy and simple little way to uproot us from our comfort zone and to do something we wouldn’t normally do.” She also added: “Hear me when I say that this doesn’t have to be big, fancy, or expensive. That’s part of the challenge! You don’t have to go out every week, you can easily find ways to do these themed date nights at home.” One Instagrammer wrote: “I love this idea!” Another said: “I love this idea! Could also easily be turned into a snack + movie-night-in with the coordinating letter if needed.” Booe recommended that partners take turns to plan dates, taking alternate letters in the alphabet. Last year, the theory of alphabet dating went viral on TikTok after users such as Abby Benson-Schwallie shared their list of creative alphabet date ideas. @abbymbenson here are is ur alphabet date list!! ?#alphabetdates #love #couple #fyp #trending #foryoupage On her list, Benson-Schwallie listed ideas such as, “Christmas movie and cider”, “Hot wings and horror” and “Nostalgia”.
