WhatsApp will allow highlighting favorite conversations


WhatsApp will allow highlighting favorite conversations



The chosen chats will appear fixed above the others so that they are the first ones that the user sees when opening the application




   WhatsApp does not stop presenting new updates, some more useful than others. On this occasion, the instant messaging 'app' prepares an improvement that will be very useful for its millions of users around the world as they can mark their preferred chats and these will appear in the first positions whenever the application is opened.

This interesting feature is already available in beta version 2.17.163 and 163 of the Android version of the 'app'. Thus, WhatsApp ends with the chronological organization to which he had been accustomed to his users so far that he left behind conversations that could be important because of the large number of group chats that can be accumulated.

   To permanently place certain conversations at the top of the 'app', the user will only have to press the selected chat for a few seconds until the icon of a pin appears. When you click on it, that group or individual conversation will remain fixed at the top of the list.

You can only do this with three conversations, at least in this beta version that has started to test the application. To remove those conversations from the fixed part or change them for others, the user has to repeat the process but vice versa, pressing until the thumbtack appears and deactivating it.

This new icon will exit by default with the new update next to the mute, delete and archive conversations.

Caught by the mobile The last known leaks of messages between politicians come to light by the use of SMS instead of instant messaging applications where the texts are encrypted    From the famous "Luis, be strong" from Rajoy to Bárcenas that came to light four years ago, until the last known case with the 'Operation Lezo': «Thanks Nacho. A hug. Hopefully the messes will close soon »of the Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, to the ex-president of the Community of Madrid recently arrested, Ignacio González. The leaks of certain SMS from the highest Spanish political sphere suggest that telephone conversations are still a source of police investigations.     Just as years ago telephone calls intervened (the so-called 'phone jacks') were the order of the day, today with new technologies you can go a step further and are text messages (SMS) or instant messaging applications (Whatsapp or Telegram mainly) where the focus is placed. Of course, intercepting a...

Honda and Visa will allow to pay from the car The system will perform transactions to issue payments at service stations and parking meters   Honda and Visa have introduced a system that allows transactions from inside the vehicle, and that can be used at service stations and parking meters. The announcement was made at CES 2017, used as decoration to climb a step in the payment system and a new breakthrough in the automotive sector, which is increasingly focused on connectivity.   This union is added to the collaboration agreement signed by both parties in the Mobile Congress of Barcelona. From that signing, the two companies began working on a system that allows drivers to make payments from inside the vehicle for daily tasks, such as parking meters and gasoline. Supported by Bluetooth wireless technology, cars will connect with petrol pumps or parking meters and from there drivers can perform transactions from the touch screen of the device. In the case of service stations,...

Laser vision, closer to the human eye

Laser vision, closer to the human eye Researchers create an ultra-thin membrane whose success has been demonstrated in animals     Shooting lasers with your eyes is not just a Hollywood trick. An investigation of the University of St. Andrew in the United States has made it possible to create an ultrafine membrane laser using organic semiconductors. The tests, for the time being, have only been taken to the animal world. In particular, they have been tested in the eyes of cows and this membrane has been shown to show lines on a flat bottom or ones and zeros creating a digital bar code. "Our work represents a new milestone in the development of lasers and, in particular, points the way to how lasers can be used in inherently soft and ductile environments, either in portable sensors or as an authentication function in banknotes" , explains Professor Malte Gather, one of researchers at the University of St Andrew. "By varying the materials and adjusting the laser grid struc...
