Episode Details

WhatsApp just dropped a major group chat upgrade for its 3 billion users — think urgent alerts, smarter polls, and secret side chats. The new “@all” command blasts notifications to everyone, even muted members, but only admins can use it in big groups (over 32 people), and you can turn it off. Polls now auto-close after you set a timer, let you hide votes for anonymity, and give you 15 minutes to fix typos. Need a quieter convo? You can spin off a smaller group from any existing one without re-inviting. And later this year? Usernames arrive — ditch your number for privacy, customize your handle, add a 4-digit security code, and even reserve names for public figures. The race for cool usernames is already heating up.
