  • WhatsApp To Move Ahead With Privacy Update Despite Backlash.
WhatsApp said it will go ahead with its controversial privacy policy update but will allow users to read it at "their own pace" and will also display a banner providing additional information. In January, the messaging platform informed users it was preparing a new privacy policy, under which it could share limited user data with Facebook and its group firms. It sparked a global outcry and sent users to rival apps Telegram and Signal, among others, prompting WhatsApp to delay the new policy launch to May and to clarify the update was focused on allowing users to message with businesses and would not affect personal conversations.


In India, the messaging app's biggest user base, Facebook executives fielded questions from a parliamentary panel on the need for the changes, days after the country's technology ministry asked the messaging platform to withdraw them. WhatsApp said it will start reminding users to review and accept updates to keep using the messaging platform.

  • Apple Is Working On Magnetic Battery Pack Attachment For Iphones.

Apple is working on a magnetically attached battery pack for new iPhones. This accessory will charge the handset wirelessly and this will give the company another attractive add on product. Apple has been developing it for a year and it can be launched in the coming months. This battery pack will be attached to the back of the battery pack iPhone 12 using the company’s MagSafe system.
