WhatsApp’s new feature allows adding descriptions to forwarded messages

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Meta-owned WhatsApp has released a new feature, allowing users to add descriptions to forwarded images, videos, GIFs, and documents on Android, which is currently available to some beta testers.
According to WABetaInfo, this feature can come in handy if the current caption doesn’t accurately describe the image or if you want to add a different description.
By removing the existing caption and replacing it with your own, the new description will be sent as a separate message. This will help ensure that the recipients know that it doesn’t belong to the original message.

Users now will be able to add more context to the forwarded media they send, as this will enable them to provide a brief explanation of why they forwarded the media, and also share their thoughts, opinions, or feelings about the content.
Moreover, the report said that after installing this update, some users may experience issues when viewing status updates and downloading videos.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has rolled out the “companion mode” feature to all beta testers in its latest update on Android.
Earlier, the companion mode was only available to a select group of beta testers.
This feature, an extension of multi-device support, has been designed to allow users to link their existing WhatsApp account to another mobile phone.

WhatsApp rolling out longer group subjects, descriptions on iOS beta

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out longer group subjects and descriptions on iOS beta.
This will make it easier for users to better describe groups, reports WABetaInfo.
Beta users can now choose a longer group description, up to 2048 characters, as the previous limit was 512 characters.
Longer group descriptions will help group admins to save additional information for describing their groups.
Moreover, the characters of the group subject have been increased to 100 to provide admins more freedom when naming their groups.
The ability to choose a longer group subject and description is available for all users after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS update from the TestFlight app, the report said.
Last week, a report mentioned that the messaging platform was rolling out similar changes to the group subjects and descriptions on Android beta.
Meanwhile, it was reported that the platform was working on a new feature which will allow users to pin messages within chats and groups.

Google introduces AI system that generates music from text descriptions

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Google has introduced a new AI system called – “MusicLM” that can generate high-fidelity music in any genre given a text description.
However, the company is fearing the risks, and has no immediate plans to release it, reports TechCrunch.
Google isn’t the first to try generative AI for songs, as there have been other attempts, including Riffusion, an AI that composes music by visualising it, as well as Dance Diffusion, Google’s own AudioML and OpenAI’s Jukebox.
But due to technical constraints and limited training data, none of them has been able to produce songs that are particularly complex in composition or high fidelity.
MusicLM is perhaps the first that can, said the report.
MusicLM was trained on a dataset of 2,80,000 hours of music to learn to generate coherent songs for descriptions of “significant complexity” (eg., “enchanting jazz song with a memorable saxophone solo and a solo singer” or “Berlin ’90s techno with a low bass and strong kick”), as described in an academic paper by US-based Cornell University.
Meanwhile, Google announced that users can now lock their incognito session when they leave Chrome on Android.
“You can require biometric authentication when you resume an Incognito session that was interrupted,” the tech giant said in a blogpost.

Earlier, this feature was available on iOS devices, but now it is rolling out to Android users too.
