You will be able to amend previously sent messages on WhatsApp.

The ability to alter messages after they were sent was one of the most sought features of the world's most popular instant messaging service.   Previously, WhatsApp permitted users to erase messages, which sparked considerable controversy about the app's utility. Editing, on the other hand, made it easy to simply update the message, particularly if it was lengthy and only a single item needed to be changed.  Telegram, another messaging service, was first to include this capability in its discussions, ahead of WhatsApp.  WhatsApp, on the other hand, had been hesitant until now, and has already stated that the ability to modify messages will be added in a future release.

Monkeypox is a disease that has been around for a long time. The virus was isolated from a youngster suspected of having smallpox in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970, and it was the first verified human case (DRC). Although monkeypox is unlikely to produce another pandemic, concern of another significant epidemic is understandable given the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

  According to Dr. Aime Alongo, chairman of the Sankuru health division in Congo, the country has 465 confirmed instances of the sickness, making it one of the worst-affected in West and Central Africa, where the condition is widespread.   According to Dr. Alongo, the disease's persistence in Congo is linked to the ingestion of deceased monkeys and rats.  " The inhabitants go into the jungle and pick up the bodies of monkeys, bats, and rodents, which are the monkeypox reservoirs ," the official continued, advising anyone who have monkeypox symptoms to seek treatment at a health centre.

At Apple's WWDC presentation next week, it's possible that significant modifications to the iOS lock screen could be announced. Bloomberg's Mark Grumman disclosed in the newest issue of his Power On newsletter that Apple has been working on a new always-on display capability for the iOS lock screen that could be exclusive to new iPhones releasing this Fall.   "Apple is contemplating big lock screen enhancements, including wallpapers with widget-like functionality," Gurman stated. "Furthermore, I'm told that iOS 16 includes future support for an always-on lock screen, which Apple had planned for the iPhone 13 last year." This would allow the iPhone to display instantly glanceable information while lowering the frame rate on the lock screen, similar to how newer Apple Watches do." According to Gurman, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models may be the only ones with the new always-on lock screen. A smaller notch hiding a new front-faci...
