Meta is taking a big step to make money from WhatsApp by testing new ad features and in its latest Android beta update (version 2.25.21.11), the messaging platform has introduced two new tools – ‘Status Ads’ and ‘Promoted Channels’.

These features are now available to select beta users on Android, according to WABetaInfo.

Status Ads are similar to the ads you see on Instagram Stories. Business accounts can now post sponsored content that will appear in users’ Status feeds.

These ads will show up between updates from friends and family but will have a clear "sponsored" label, so users can easily tell them apart from personal posts.

WhatsApp is also giving users control over what they see. If someone doesn’t want to see ads from a particular advertiser, they can block them, and those ads won’t appear again.

The second feature, Promoted Channels, will help public channels become more visible in WhatsApp’s channel directory.

More than a lack of exercise, a higher caloric intake may be the primary driver of obesity worldwide, finds a study.

While many experts have offered that rising obesity rates are due to declining physical activity as societies become more industrialised, the findings led by researchers from Duke University in the US, show that people in wealthier countries expend just as much -- or even more -- energy daily.

“It’s clear that changes in diet, not reduced activity, are the main cause of obesity,” said Herman Pontzer, principal investigator and Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the varsity.

In an article recently published in the journal PNAS, the researchers analysed thousands of measurements of daily energy expenditure, body fat percentage, and body mass index (BMI) from more than 4,200 adults aged 18 to 60 across 34 populations spanning six continents.

A Crisil report on Monday projected India’s gross domestic product (GDP) to grow at 6.5 per cent this fiscal (FY26), supported by improving domestic consumption, among other positive indicators.

GDP growth accelerated to 7.4 per cent on-year in the fourth quarter of last fiscal from 6.4 per cent in the previous quarter. Overall, GDP grew 6.5 per cent last fiscal (FY25).
