WhatsApp private reply: How to send messages privately to group member

In yet another development, Facebook-owned messaging app, WhatsApp has rolled out yet another feature that would allow the users to individually reply to members in a group without others knowing about it
In yet another development, Facebook-owned messaging app, WhatsApp has rolled out yet another feature that would allow the users to individually reply to members in a group without others knowing about it.
Something akin to a feature in mail that allows you to send mail via 'Reply to All' and 'Reply' feature. However, the feature is currently available for the Android beta version and is seen in the latest WhatsApp version 2.18.335 beta update.
WhatsApp has been working on this Private Reply feature for one year and finally, now it has been rolled out. The stable version for the same would be rolled out soon.
This WhatsApp Private Reply feature allows users to reply privately in a group without letting others know about the same. According to a report by Wabetainfo, the beta version 2.18.335 has a bug and crashes the app once the user tries to delete a media in the chat.
Private Reply feature is also similar to the already existing feature in WhatsApp that allows the users to reply individually to members in a group but takes you to a persona rather than keeping you in group chat.
That apart, WhatsApp is also bringing a new service that will ensure you turn into a money magnet for it. Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp will now load advertisements in its status feature, confirmed the WhatsApp Vice President Chris Daniels."We are going to be putting ads in 'Status'. That is going to be primary monetisation mode for the company as well as an opportunity for businesses to reach people on WhatsApp," Daniels told reporters.
However, no timeline for this development to take place has been confirmed by Daniels. The WhatsApp has more than 1.5 billion users across the world with more than 250 million in India. Media reports were already there that WhatsApp would allow ads on its status earlier last month. The Status feature of the messaging app allows users to share GIFs, videos and pictures that automatically disappear after 24 years.
Facebook's native advertising system would power the advertisements to WhatsApp and this would help users to understand and participate in businesses through the messaging app.

What's With All the Squares? QR Codes A QR code is comprised of an array of squares, some of which are used for the image sensor to position itself (that's the large squares on three of the corners), while the rest of the cells contain version and format information as well as the data itself, of course, along with error correction coding. Whereas most of the barcodes you come across are one-dimensional, such as UPC labels on items at the store, QR codes are two-dimensional and offer many advantages. For instance, QR codes can be scanned in any direction instead of only one, they can contain thousands of alphanumeric characters versus only a dozen or so, and when configured with a high level of error correction they are particularly capable at continuing to function after sustaining damage. The more error correction a QR code has, the less data it can store and incidentally, the more data that is stored within a QR code, the more squares it will have. More sq...

Google looking to future after 20 years of search  Google celebrated its 20th birthday Monday, marking two decades in which it has grown from simply a better way to explore the internet to a search engine so woven into daily life its name has become a verb.  The company was set to mark its 20th anniversary with an event in San Francisco devoted to the future of online search, promising a few surprise announcements.  Larry Page and Sergey Brin were students at Stanford University -- known for its location near Silicon Valley The duo went beyond simply counting the number of times keywords were used, developing software that took into account factors such as relationships between webpages to help determine where they should rank in search results.  Google was launched in September 1998 in a garage rented in the Northern California city of Menlo Park. The name is a play on the mathematical term "googol," which refers to the number 1 followed by 100 zeros.  G...
