Mark Zuckerberg announces a new WhatsApp feature which allows to transfer all chats between Android and iOS. He also noted that this was a top requested feature.
Up until recently, data transfer only worked one way – one would lose all saved data, when switching from Android to iOS. At the same time, data transfer from iOS to Android was introduced about a year ago.

🤓 “Greater-fool Theory” //
Billionaire Bill Gates dismissed cryptocurrency projects such as nonfungible tokens as shams “based on the greater-fool theory” at a climate conference Tuesday, reviving past criticisms of digital assets.
“Obviously, expensive digital images of monkeys are going to improve the world immensely,” said Bill Gates.
Mr Gates is a renowned crypto sceptic. Last year, he sparred with Elon Musk over whether Bitcoin is too risky for retail investors and the environmental harm of mining coins. The billionaire has also supported digital banking efforts, which he described as “hundreds of times more efficient” than cryptocurrencies.

Telegram team has updated the Bot API to version 6.1 which supports updates related to Premium accounts. In particular, bots can now identify premium users and premium stickers.
This means that soon Telegram will see the creation of many new bots that will have features available only to Premium subscribers (or vice versa, i.e. for free users only).
The messenger team talked about other innovations in Bot API 6.1 in the changelog.
Earlier, the official @PremiumJoinBot bot, which uses the new features, was released. It automatically lets in users with Premium subnoscription into a private chat.
However, users have already created an alternative @PremiumRemoveBot, that, on the contrary, bans all premium users in the chat.
