AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

WhatsApp’s View Once feature will make photos and videos vanish once seen

WhatsApp has a new feature that will allow you to send disappearing photos and videos to others, which can be viewed just once. The feature has now been made official after it was being tested by WhatsApp for a while now.

The new ‘View Once’ feature is rolling out to the messaging app’s iOS version and even the Android version. Here are the details.

WhatsApp starts rolling out View Once feature

The View Once option will let you send a picture or a video that is either taken from WhatsApp‘s camera or selected from the phone’s gallery. This option can be enabled by tapping on the ‘1’ icon present next to the type bar that is usually present for you to type a caption for the media.

Once enabled, the photo or the video will disappear once viewed. The chat will show the Opened status on the media once it is viewed. This is similar to how Snapchat works when such a setting is switched on. This feature is also available for Instagram users.

The disappearing videos and photos won’t be saved to the gallery of the recipient, considering it will vanish as soon as it is viewed. However, people can still take a screenshot of the same, in case. WhatsApp won’t notify users if a screenshot is taken, much like how it works for its Stories.

This comes in addition to the Disappearing Messages feature that lets people send fleeting messages to others, which will be deleted automatically after seven days. A new setting for this is expected to arrive soon that will make the messages vanish in just 24 hours. This is another feature that has been copied from Snapchat.

In addition to this, the new WhatsApp for iOS update has introduced a new design for in-app notifications that are meant to remove the extra elements and just focus on the message.
