We upgraded the group
WhatsApp has added a new and effective feature for group calls, which allows you to join a group video call even after it has started, even if you did not receive the original invitation (why were you filtered? This is another story, unrelated to us).
However, you can now join active group conversations directly from the group window, by clicking the new Join button.
"It is now easier to connect to groups spontaneously, easily and effortlessly with just one click," WhatsApp said.
Also, keep in mind that when entering the chat, the names of the participants will not appear at the top of the screen, but only the name of the group.
It is therefore advisable to check carefully who is participating in it, in order to avoid unpleasant incidents.

Hello, the Fisher family?
Fisher Price's mythical toy phone celebrates its 60th birthday and gets a new and surprising version: one that can receive and make real calls!
The phone, known as the Chatter, was first launched in 1961 and passed the time of countless toddlers who while not getting a response from the other end of the red handset, it did not particularly bother them as long as the phone smiled at them and followed them wherever they pulled it.
No more!
The new and limited edition "Chatter" for adults is equipped with a Bluetooth connection that turns it into a kind of wireless speaker.
All you have to do is team it up for your real smartphone and you will feel like you are back in kindergarten.
pleasure.
The only short in the media: The gadget is currently only offered in the American chain of Best Buy stores, but we still thought it would be worth updating.
The train of distractions
Starting this week you can pay with the Moscow subway system with a smile.
Or rather, with the help of the face recognition system recently installed on the train (but still worth a smile to maintain optimism).
Needless to say, the move has drawn a lot of criticism from various organizations when it comes to intruding on passenger privacy and government surveillance options, which have been upgraded dozens of times after installing 240 face recognition stations at all subway stations, but the tide has already fallen.
Maxim Lexotov, deputy mayor in charge of transport, boasted that the system is the first of its kind in the world to be implemented on such a large scale, but tried to remove the concern and added that its use is not mandatory.
Travel tickets can still be purchased using cash, credit cards and phones.
However, a digital rights activist named Stanislav Shakirov warned that "Moscow's subway system is a government institution and all information may tell the security services."
Please behave appropriately.
Date with Netflix
Netflix will open its third U.S. cinema this week. The streaming giant recently acquired The Bay Theater, located in the Pacific Placides neighborhood of Los Angeles, which has been shut down since the start of the Corona plague. The reopening will take place on October 22, with the screening of Harder They Fall from Netflix starring Idris Alba, about two weeks before he went on duty.
Netflix plans to continue screening glittering premieres of selected films in its new cinema, including Red Notice with Gal Gadot and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson and Don't Look Up with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, which will be released soon.
Phones must be turned off before the screening.
