    WhatsApp’s New Features: Typing Indicators, Drafts & More!

    Meta just announced some cool new features for WhatsApp that will make chatting easier and more fun! One of the biggest updates is the new Typing Indicator. Now, when someone is typing in a chat—whether one-on-one or in a group—you’ll see their profile picture and a “…” on the chat screen. This helps you know who is about to send a message, which is super handy in group chats where it can be hard to tell who’s talking.

    WhatsApp is rolling out this Typing Indicator soon for both iPhone and Android users, so everyone can enjoy better conversations in groups.

    Another new feature is called Draft Messages. With this, if you start writing a message but can’t finish it right away, you can save it as a “Draft.” This way, you won’t lose your thoughts, and you can easily come back to complete your message later.

    WhatsApp is also adding Voice Note Transcription, which means you can read your voice messages instead of listening to them. This is great if you’re busy or in a place where you can’t have the sound on. The app keeps everything private, and the transcripts are made right on your phone, so no worries about your audio being shared.

    Additionally, WhatsApp will stop supporting older iPhone versions after May 2025. So, if you have an iPhone that’s older than version 15.1, you’ll need to update to keep using the app. This change will help WhatsApp make the app work better on newer iPhones.

    With these updates, WhatsApp is making chatting better, whether you’re talking to one friend or a whole group. Users can look forward to an even better chatting experience soon!

    Actor Barry Keoghan is responding to harsh comments online after breaking up with singer Sabrina Carpenter. Barry shared a message on his X account, saying he can’t ignore the “hateful comments” about his looks and family anymore. He and Sabrina separated earlier this month.

    In his message, Barry expressed frustration about the lies people are spreading about him. He wrote, “I can only take so much. My name is being dragged through the mud, and I need to defend myself. The things I’ve read are cruel and untrue, talking about how I grew up and even bringing my mom into it.”

    Barry emphasized that these comments affect him and his son, Brando, who he shares with his ex-partner Alyson Sandro. He wants to be a strong role model for Brando and provide him with good opportunities. He asked people to think about the impact their words have, especially since Brando will read all this when he’s older.

    Barry did not mention Sabrina directly in his post. However, there are rumors that Barry cheated on her with TikTok influencer Breckie Hill. Both Barry and Sabrina have not officially commented on this claim.

  • Notre Dame Cathedral Reopens: A Milestone for France After the Fire

    Notre Dame Cathedral Reopens: A Milestone for France After the Fire

    On Saturday, the archbishop of Paris, Laurent Ulrich, officially reopened the famous Notre Dame Cathedral, which was badly damaged by a fire in 2019. He made a special entrance by knocking on the doors, wearing beautiful new vestments and holding a staff made from a beam that survived the fire. Inside, hundreds of important guests gathered to celebrate the restoration of this incredible 12th-century building.

    Among the guests were US President-elect Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, who enjoyed the newly cleaned walls and modern lighting that has been added. Outside, many Parisians and tourists stood in the rain and wind to see this beloved monument come back to life. “It looks even more beautiful, especially with the restored spire,” said Marie Jean, a 27-year-old dentist from southern France.

    Rebuilding Notre Dame has cost around 700 million euros (about 750 million dollars), funded by donations. The project was completed in just five years, even with challenges like lead pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic. Philippe Jost, who took over the project last year, expressed pride in the successful restoration, calling it a great achievement for all of France.

    The reopening ceremony included prayers, organ music, and songs from the cathedral’s choir. There was supposed to be a public concert featuring talented musicians Lang Lang and possibly Pharrell Williams, but it was completed the night before due to bad weather.

    President Macron celebrated Notre Dame’s reopening as an example of French creativity and determination, especially during tough times. He hopes this event will bring a sense of pride and togetherness to France, similar to what the Olympics did earlier this year.

    Macron successfully invited Trump for his first trip abroad after being re-elected, along with 40 other leaders. They discussed important issues, including military support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. While Pope Francis sent a message to be read at the event, he was not there in person.

    The cause of the 2019 fire is still a mystery, but officials believe it may have been an accident, like an electrical fault. On Sunday, the first mass since the fire will happen at 10:30 AM, with many bishops and priests attending, followed by another service in the evening open to the public.
