WhatsApp will shut down if forced to break encryption: Company tells Delhi HC
WhatsApp told the court that it has more than 400 million users in India and they use the app largely for its privacy features.
The feature has been released for some people in Sao Paulo and will be available to both iOS and Android users.
Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly planning to roll out a new feature that enables users to search for businesses nearby.
As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a functionality that will let users easily search for businesses nearby by filtering them using a new interface. The feature will be helpful for users to search for hotels, groceries, apparel, and clothing, among others.
The feature has been released for some people in Sao Paulo and will be available to both iOS and Android users.

“When you search for something within WhatsApp, there will be a new section called ‘Businesses Nearby’: when you select the category, the results of business accounts will be filtered based on your choice,” said WABetaInfo.
WhatsApp has already redesigned the page for Business Info following the release of WhatsApp beta for the iOS 2.21.170.12 update.
Meanwhile, the company has recently brought in a new privacy update to prevent unknown contacts from seeing a user’s last seen and online status.
The feature will allow WhatsApp users to set their “last seen” status to be viewed by everyone, their contacts, except a blacklist of specific people.
This new feature has been reportedly rolled out for both Android and iOS-enabled devices.
