Highlights

  • WhatsApp has launched Advanced Chat Privacy, adding more security to private and group conversations.
  • The new setting prevents chat exports, automatic media downloads and stops messages from being used in AI features.
  • The feature is rolling out now with the latest app version

WhatsApp has just launched a new privacy feature called “Advanced Chat Privacy” to give users even more control over their private conversations whether in one-on-one chats or group chats. This feature was already spotted in Beta version by trusted WABetaInfo earlier this month.

The company explained the new feature in a blog post titled “Introducing Advanced Chat Privacy: Enhanced Protection for Your Most Sensitive Conversations.” It says that while end-to-end encryption still forms the core of WhatsApp’s privacy promise, making sure only the sender and receiver can see or hear messages and calls. The company is continuing to build on that foundation.

They’ve already introduced features like disappearing messages and chat lock, and now, this new setting takes things “one step further.”

What WhatsApp’s Advanced Chat Privacy Does?

This new feature is designed to keep sensitive chats even more secure. Once turned on, it will:

  • Block chat exports, so your conversations can’t be saved or shared outside WhatsApp
  • Stop automatic media downloads from those chats
  • Prevent your messages from being used in AI features

According to WhatsApp, this helps give everyone in the chat more peace of mind, knowing their conversations are staying private and on the app.

Why This New Feature Matters?

WhatsApp pointed out that group chats are often made up of people who might not know each other very well, especially in support groups or community organising. This feature is especially helpful in those kinds of situations.

As the company put it in a blog post, “We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature, like talking about health challenges in a support group or organising your community about something important to you.”

When Will You Get It?

The new “Advanced Chat Privacy” feature is now rolling out to all users on the latest version of the WhatsApp app. Users can simply turn on the setting by tapping the name of your chat and selecting Advanced Chat Privacy.

FAQs

Q1. What is WhatsApp’s Advanced Chat Privacy feature?

Answer. It’s a new privacy setting that enhances security in private and group chats, offering additional protections beyond WhatsApp’s existing encryption.

Q2. What protections does Advanced Chat Privacy offer?

Answer. It blocks chat exports, prevents automatic media downloads from those chats, and stops messages from being used in AI features.

Q3. How can users enable Advanced Chat Privacy?

Answer. Users can turn it on by tapping the chat name and selecting Advanced Chat Privacy in the latest version of the WhatsApp app.

iPhone 17 Lineup Leaks – New Dummy Models In Two Colours Show Design Details

0

Highlights

  • Apple leaker Sonny Dickson shared photos of iPhone 17 dummy models in black and white, showing all four variants.
  • The dummy models confirm that the standard iPhone 17 will retain the iPhone 16’s design.
  • The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air will introduce new looks.

All four models of the upcoming iPhone 17 Series are expected to be officially announced in September. While there have been plenty of leaks revealing key specs, we have also had images of dummy model circulating online for months now. Recently, a hands-on video on YouTube showed all models with special focus on how the iPhone 17 Air is going to be the slimmest of them all, just 5.65mm thin. Now, another leak shows the dummy models.

Well-known Apple leaker Sonny Dickson on X (formerly Twitter) has just posted new photos on social media showing off the entire iPhone 17 lineup. The images include all four models including iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in both black and white.

These dummy units give us one of the clearest looks yet at how the full iPhone 17 lineup will appear side by side. They look pretty accurate, especially when it comes to the camera setup.

Earlier leaks about the iPhone 17 Pro claimed it would have an all-black camera bar, no matter the phone’s colour. But that turned out to be incorrect. These new dummy models show that the camera bar colour will actually match the phone itself.

There’s also confirmation that the standard iPhone 17 won’t be getting a design refresh, it looks just like the iPhone 16. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro will have a new design, and so will the iPhone 17 Air, which is taking the place of last year’s iPhone 16 Plus.

Meanwhile, 9to5Mac’s recent report noted how one of the rumoured design elements is missing from the latest leaked images. The earlier rumours mentioned the iPhone 17 Pro would have a unibody design with aluminium wrapping from the sides to the back and a glass section for wireless charging. That detail isn’t shown in these dummy models.

FAQs

Q1. What are the different models in the iPhone 17 series?

Answer. The iPhone 17 lineup includes four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Q2. What is the thinnest model in the iPhone 17 series?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air is the slimmest of them all, measuring just 5.65mm in thickness.

Q3. Will the iPhone 17 Pro have a black camera bar regardless of its colour?

Answer. No, previous leaks suggested an all-black camera bar for the iPhone 17 Pro, but the dummy models confirm that the camera bar will match the phone’s colour.

HTech founder Madhav Sheth has just announced that Alcatel smartphones are officially on their way to India. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his excitement about the launch and revealed a collaboration with the Nxtcell team to make it happen.

According to Sheth, this partnership isn’t just about launching new phones, it’s about bringing advanced tech to India, encouraging patent-based innovation, and supporting local manufacturing. He emphasised that the goal is to align with India’s push for tech self-reliance, a growing priority in the country’s mobile industry.

Sheth added that the technology agreements are already in place, and the focus is now on local production. This could also open the door for exports and help strengthen India’s position in the global tech space.

“We have successfully signed technology agreements, and our local manufacturing initiatives are poised to significantly boost India’s tech ecosystem and enhance exports,” Sheth wrote in his post.

We’re still waiting for details on the Alcatel models, launch dates, and sales strategy, but those updates are expected soon. Earlier this month, Alcatel also announced a partnership with Flipkart, confirming that the phones will be available on the platform and even via Flipkart’s quick delivery service, FK Minutes.

HONOR Set to Launch 5 New Products in India

That’s not the only announcement Sheth, who is also the CEO and co-founder of HTech, made. He also announced that HONOR has received approvals to launch five new products in India. He didn’t share any product names just yet, but fans are already speculating.

Earlier this year, HONOR teased the launch of the HONOR X9c in India, though the product page was later removed from Amazon. With HONOR 400 Lite now available globally, it could be one of the five products coming to India. We might also see the HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro, both of which are expected to launch internationally later this year.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that some HTech employees from realme have recently left the company, adding another layer of curiosity around the upcoming product launches.

GTA 6 Much-Anticipated Second Trailer In May? Fans Hope for Big Reveal Soon

0

Highlights

  • Fans speculate that Rockstar Games may drop a second GTA 6 trailer or new screenshots around May 15, 2025.
  • With major game launches in August and September, GTA 6 could target November 2025.

It’s been quite a long time since Rockstar Games released the record-breaking trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI and fans have been vocally losing patience. Since the teaser dropped back in December 2023, there haven’t been any big updates. All we have got are inaccurate leaks, false rumours and lots of fan theories. Not to swell hopes, but there’s a good chance that could change soon.

New Trailer In May 2025?

Right now, the only official info we have is that GTA 6 is set to launch in Fall 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S. Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, held a financial earnings call in February, and their next one is scheduled for May 15, 2025. This has fans speculating that we might get some fresh GTA 6 news on that date.

There’s also buzz about a second trailer dropping around that time or at the very least, some new screenshots. On X (formerly Twitter), fans are speculating that Rockstar will wait until after the May 15 earnings call to release anything new.

According to X user @GameRollGTA, Borderlands 4 is expected to get its own State of Play, and the next Mafia game is rumoured to have a showcase on May 8. If those titles are getting major updates, many believe Rockstar will give GTA 6 a similar spotlight soon after.

There’s also some chatter about the overall release timeline. One report suggested that Mafia: The Old Country could launch in August, while Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26 may drop in September. Since August and September are already crowded, fans think Rockstar might go for a November 2025 release for GTA 6 to avoid competition and maximize sales.

In the meantime, it seems fans are rewatching the original GTA 6 trailer, which now has over 250 million views and more than one million comments on YouTube.

Here’s the trailer, if you haven’t seen it already –

Take-Two CEO On Tariffs and Game Pricing

While Rockstar keeps things quiet, Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick did speak up about a few important things like pricing and international trade concerns.

In an interview with GamesIndustry, Zelnick talked about tariffs and whether they could push the price of GTA 6 even higher than the already-debated $70 mark. “Like everyone else in business, I’m somewhat concerned about the possibility of trade wars,” Zelnick said.

“But I’m encouraged that we seem to be avoiding those with Mexico and Canada through discussion and negotiation, and I’m cautiously optimistic that that will lead to a good result,” he added.

He also mentioned the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), saying the gaming industry is working with policymakers to avoid trade issues. Some are hopeful the industry will get the same kind of support Apple has received in similar situations.

FAQs

Q1. When is the second GTA 6 trailer expected to release?

Answer. Fans speculate that Rockstar might drop a second trailer or new screenshots around May 15, 2025, following Take-Two’s earnings call.

Q2. When will GTA 6 be officially released?

Answer. GTA 6 is set to launch in Fall 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. Some believe Rockstar may opt for November 2025 to maximise sales.

Q3. Could GTA 6’s price be higher than expected?

Answer. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick raised concerns that tariffs could push GTA 6’s price beyond $70, though negotiations may help avoid trade-related price increases.
