WhatsApp Beta introduces option to ‘pin’ messages in chats, groups

Published

on

In its bid to further improve user experience, WhatsApp has introduced a new update via its test flight beta program allowing the users to pin messages in chats and groups.

The new option will enhance the user experience for the Meta-owned platform as it will make it easy to find selected messages in clustered chats by allowing users to pin messages at the top of the chats, said WABeta info.

The ability to pin messages will be available for both individual and group chats and one can access it by simply selecting the desired message after which an option pops up asking the user for the duration for which the message needs to be pinned.

The feature allows users to pin desired messages for 24 hours, seven days and 30 days.

This new feature is already available on the TestFlight app and now the Meta-owned platform is introducing it for iOS users as well.

Despite some users being able to experience this option by downloading the app’s latest version from the App Store. However, it will take time for the masses to be able to utilise this new feature.

For now, the option is limited and available to a handful of beta testers who have installed the latest version of the platform from the TestFlight app.

In terms of practicality, the feature will especially come in handy in group chats where it might be used to make announcements allowing the members to easily access important updates and messages that are pinned.

The goal is to construct the first lunar train system, which will enable safe, independent, and effective cargo transportation on the moon, according to robotics specialist Ethan Schaler of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

He went on, “The day-to-day functioning of a sustainable lunar base in the 2030s will depend heavily on a robust, long-lasting robotic transport system.”

The Flexible Levitation on a Track, or FLOAT, is the name of the proposed lunar rail system. According to NASA, the establishment of a railway system on the moon is “critical to the daily operations.”

According to the space agency, the primary objective of FLOAT is to offer transportation services in regions of the moon where astronauts are engaged in activities. To do this, cargoes of lunar soil and other materials will need to be transported to various regions of the moon.

Each robot will be able to transport cargo of various sizes and shapes at a pace of roughly 1 mph (1.61 km/h), according to Dr. Schaler.

Notably, NASA also declared new initiatives last month to create and test new vehicle models intended for moon exploration.

According to the IST, the satellite ICUBE-Q was planned and developed in partnership with China’s Shanghai University SJTU and Pakistan’s national space agency SUPARCO.

The ICUBE-Q orbiter is equipped with two optical cameras to image the lunar surface. ICUBE-Q has now been integrated into the Chang’e6 mission after successfully qualifying and testing it.

Chang’e6 is the sixth lunar exploration mission launched by China.

The launch event was streamed live on the IST website and social media platforms. Chang’6, China’s Lunar Mission, will land on the Moon’s far side to collect surface samples before returning to Earth for further research.

SIFC was established to improve the ease of doing business for potential investors through a “Whole of Government”Approach”—achieving optimal horizontal-vertical synergy and facilitation by the Pakistan Army—and to attract investments from friendly countries in selected sectors through an empowered organisation that serves as a “single-window” platform for facilitation.

The children will learn the newest skills in these state-of-the-art IT labs, expanding their employment prospects.

These IT laboratories will be constructed in sixteen degree colleges spread throughout various parts of Islamabad.

Students will take six-month courses in artificial intelligence (AI), game development, data science, and block chain in these IT labs.

Approximately 1,000 students will have access to courses in the first phase, which is being implemented in response to market demand.

The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission has worked with esteemed universities such as NUST, National Skills University, COMSATS, and NUML to produce these courses.

The second week of this month will mark the start of these classes. For these courses, about 3,600 students have signed up.
