Meta has announced that it will replace the contact-saving system on WhatsApp.
In general, WhatsApp stores the same contacts as your primary phone, and it is not possible to save WhatsApp contacts to other linked devices. If the phone is lost or damaged, then these contacts have to be saved again on WhatsApp.
Now, however, the contact manager feature will be introduced in WhatsApp, under which all contacts will be saved directly in the App, and the user will not need to save them again if they lose or change the phone.
This feature will be rolled out first to WhatsApp Web and its Windows app in the next few weeks, followed by an eventual possibility to save contacts to other linked devices as well.
The new technology, Identity Proof Linked Storage (IPLS), will be used to bring about this change. Under this technology, the names and numbers stored in WhatsApp will be encrypted, and you will have access only to them.
1. Social media apps are still interrupted from time to time, while the internet remains slow and yet, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has reported that incidents of WhatsApp hacking are rapidly increasing in Pakistan.
1,426 complaints have been received in the last four months. The FIA, so far, has recovered 549 hacked accounts, but 877 complaints remain under investigation.
This increase also calls for users to strengthen their online security through strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and caution with suspicious links.
Hacking tactics include creating fake WhatsApp profiles using stolen photos of victims’ friends and family. They then send messages to gain the victims’ trust and ask for personal information or verification codes to access their accounts.
2. India is likely to support Pakistan’s bid to join the BRICS bloc, an alliance that challenges the economic monopoly of the West, Indian media has reported. Indian media has speculated that following Russia’s influence on India, News Delhi may vote in favour of Pakistan joining the BRICS.
“One of the key takeaways of the summit is likely to be India’s green signal to Pakistan’s long-pending bid for membership in the bloc,” ABP Live reported.
Pakistan applied for membership in BRICS in August 2023; following this, other countries, Turkiye, Azerbaijan, and Malaysia, also formally applied to become members of the bloc.
3. The Council of Islamic Ideology has recommended that the government make the practice of giving three talaqs at once punishable. In a meeting chaired by Dr. Muhammad Raghib Hussain Naimi, the Council also suggested increasing the punishment for violating the Dowry Act from six months to one year and adjusting marriage expenses to equalise costs. They decided to send a previously prepared draft on this subject to the federal government.
Punjab police have proposed making domestic violence a non-bailable offence and amending the Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Act (PPWVA-2016) to include a Rs 1 million fine for offenders. IG Police Dr. Usman Anwar submitted this proposal to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, citing concerns that most domestic violence suspects escape legal action. Currently, only 6% of incidents result in FIRs due to a lack of clear legal definitions. The proposed changes aim to strengthen protections for women and ensure better enforcement against domestic violence in Punjab.
4. The IMF forecasts that global economic growth will stabilise at 3.2% in 2025 and rise to about 3.3% by 2026. This outlook comes amid ongoing inflation and geopolitical uncertainties that are slowing recovery in major economies. In its World Economic Outlook report, the IMF cautioned that persistent inflation, rising energy costs, and geopolitical conflicts could disrupt global trade and investment, affecting some regions more than others.
5. Chinese military drills have been exercised around Taiwan for the past five years, but now, the practice has intensified since Taiwanese polls in April that elected President William Lai Ching-te, whom Beijing has labelled a “dangerous separatist”.
On October 14, Beijing launched large-scale military drills, which included the army, navy, air force and rocket force, after which Taiwan’s defence chief cautioned that a Chinese blockade would be considered an act of war and could have a severe impact on international trade.
These drills came soon after Lai delivered his National Day speech on October 10 and were issued as a “stern warning to the separatist acts of ‘Taiwan Independence’ forces”.

AUR the band, including Ahad, Usama and Raffey, are behind the beautiful song ‘Chal Diye Tum Kahan from the drama serial Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, and they have shared insights about the deeper meaning of their hit OST.
The band recently appeared as a guest on Fuchsia Magazine, where Usama, a member of the band, explained that many people might not fully understand the song’s story.
“One thing I want to discuss about the song is the concept behind it, m. Many people haven’t fully grasped that part yet,” he said.
“From the beginning to the end, it’s a continuous narrative. Initially, even Ahad Bhai wasn’t aware of this concept. He brought in some different elements, and then we worked together to refine them and write the final version,” he added.
Usama elaborated on how the song features a back-and-forth dialogue between the boy and girl characters. For instance, the boy expresses his longing with the lines:
Ek umeed tujhse thi judi, aur aaya tu nahin,
To which the girl respond: Ek umeed teri mujhse, thi judi ye maan li
The dialogue in the lyrics continues, revealing their emotional depth as the boy says, “Khawaab tha mera tou fir mujhe jagaya kyun nhi”, which is met with the girl’s reply, “Jaagi khwaab se to, Haqeeqat ne meri jaan li.”
Usama urges fan to listen closely to the song, highlighting that it is not just about memorable lines but about the powerful dialogue and the raw emptions exchanged between the characters.
The OST of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is sung and written by Ahad Khan and Usama Ali and composed by Raffey Anwar. The drama is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.
In Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, Fahad Mustafa plays the character of Mustafa, and Hania Aamir plays the character of Sharjeena. The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital.
Gold price in Pakistan resumed its record high run on Wednesday and surpassed the Rs285,000 per tola mark for the first time in history.
According to All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the latest increase comes after the 24-karat gold price witnessed a single-day gain of Rs2,000, bigger than the increase it witnessed on the previous trading day, closing Tuesday’s session at Rs285,400 per tola.
The price of ten-gramme gold was also seen up by Rs1,714, clocking in at Rs244,684.
Internationally, the yellow metal’s rate surged by $20 to $2,757 per ounce. This price also includes a premium of $20.
Experts say that the latest surge in global and local bullion markets is due to conflicts in the Middle East and confusion regarding the upcoming elections in the US.
In such circumstances, gold is seen as a hedge against economic and geopolitical uncertainties.
The price of gold in Pakistan is currently Rs65,700 per tola up since the start of this calendar year. For those unaware, the price of gold, according to APGJSA, on the first trading day of 2024 was recorded at Rs219,700 per tola.
England’s off-spinner Shoaib Bashir recounted an interesting moment with Muhammad Rizwan during the second Test between Pakistan and England in Multan.
Speaking to the BBC ahead of the decider in Rawalpindi, the 21-year-old revealed a tactic of Pakistani wicketkeeper.
He was asked if he helped his side understand Pakistan’s strategy because he speaks Urdu; Shoaib said, “I do as much as possible, but Rizwan has already. When I came to the crease, he started speaking Pashto to communicate with his teammates. I couldn’t understand what he was saying.”
Rizwan is known for his moves behind the stumps and will likely need to employ more such tactics with the Pakistan captaincy on the horizon.
On the other hand, the English spinner has given excellent performances to England since making his debut this year. Despite averaging 51 with the ball after 2 Test matches against Pakistan, the team will continue to depend on him for the final game, as the Pindi pitches are being prepared spin-friendly.
Businesses and consumers prepare to celebrate as they may soon see a reduction in their utility bills of up to PKR 8.55 billion. This is because the Central Power Purchasing Agency-Guaranteed (CPPA-G) has proposed for Discos (electricity distribution companies) to decrease the per unit price of electricity by PKR 0.7.
The lower cost of electricity will serve to greatly benefit households and industries, which consume 47 per cent and 28 per cent of the electricity used, respectively. Businesses in the cement, steel and textiles sectors stand to benefit in the form of higher profits, as they are large consumers of electricity.
Textile exporters stand to benefit the most as their products will become more attractive to customers in international markets due to their lower prices. Textile exports already stand at an impressive USD 16.655 billion in 2023, with more to gain if the proposal goes through.
While discos are to return this amount, this won’t be too tough on most of them as they are owned by the government directly. However, the owners of K-electric will not be too thrilled if the proposal is accepted, as it is privately owned, and it will reduce earnings due to the PKR 0.7 negative adjustment.
For average households and above, this adjustment will reduce the monthly electricity bill by about PKR 150 to PKR 450, resulting in them having more money available. When this money is available to consumers, it will likely create more sales for the goods and services of local businesses.
Aside from the negative adjustment charges, the coming of winter will also greatly reduce the average electricity bills, allowing local businesses to cash in on consumers having more money available.
The reduced electricity bills are likely to help grow local businesses while also improving the overall standard of living for Pakistanis. However, businesses are experiencing uncertainty in decision-making with the constantly changing electricity tariffs and adjustment charges.
While there is a negative adjust charge right now, many speculate that discos are likely to advocate for higher tariffs in the near future to recuperate any losses.
Businesses are aware of this potential scheme and are weary of the constant changes in electricity, which is a major input in the production of most goods.

With Justice Yahya Afridi’s name being finalized as the next chief justice of Pakistan (CJP), opposition leader and netizens are speculating whether Justice Afridi will be accepting the post or not.
President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday appointed Justice Yahya Afridi as the next CJP, who will take over the reins from incumbent CJP Qazi Faez Isa later this week. Justice Afridi has been appointed for a fixed three-year term starting on October 26, said a statement from Aiwan-e-Sadr.
Soon after Justice Afridi’s nomination by a special parliamentary committee, formed under the 26th Amendment, PTI leader Hamid Khan, in conversation with a private media outlet on Tuesday night, expressed hope that Justice Afridi “would decline the position”.
The statement left the internet divided, with people speculating whether Justice Afridi will be accepting the position of the country’s 30th CJP.
Some social media users went on to suggest that Justice Afridi should not accept the position owing to the changes in process of appointment of the country’s top judge under the 26th Amendment.
“Justice Yahya Afridi, show some grace and reject this offer. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah should be made the Chief Justice of Pakistan, as this Constitutional Amendment was illegitimate,” wrote one user, calling out the ruling coalition.
Showing concern over the appointment of the third senior-most judge instead of senior-most Justice Mansoor Ali Shah after CJP Qazi Faez Isa, another user wrote, “This is Pakistan’s most senior judge, Mansoor Ali Shah, but his seniority is being ignored, and the third-ranked judge, Yahya Afridi, is going to be made Chief Justice of Pakistan.”
It may be noted that neither Justice Afridi himself, any Supreme Court (SC) judges nor other relevant authorities have so far hinted at the possibility of Justice Afridi refusing to take charge as the country’s top judge. Instead, media reports on Wednesday afternoon claimed that the incumbent chief judge among other members of the judicial community had already congratulated Justice Afridi.
On late Sunday night, the Parliament passed the 26th Amendment, ruling out the scenario of the senior-most SC judge’s appointment as the CJP. Under the changes, the appointment of the CJP shall now be made from among the three senior-most judges of the apex court on the recommendation of a special parliamentary committee.
Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Munib Akhtar and Justice Yahya Afridi were in the race for the slot of the country’s top judge till a special parliamentary committee nominated Justice Yahya Afridi.
