Starting in November, users in Europe
can subscribe for 9.99 euros a month on
desktop or 12.99 euros on mobile devices.

The strict data privacy laws reportedly restrict
Meta's ability to tailor advertisements
by tracking the online activity of its users.
According to a news release from Meta, users who
choose not to pay are giving their consent to being
shown ads under the new subscription model.
Meta added that users who
subscribe will also not have their personal
information used for tailoring ads.
The option for people to purchase
a subscription for no ads balances
the requirements of European regulators
while giving users choice and allowing
Meta to continue serving all people
in the EU, EEA and Switzerland, Meta statement, via NBC.
Initially, users' ad-free subscriptions will be applied to all
accounts linked to their Accounts Center, which means
the ad-free experience will be available across profiles.
However, after February, an additional 6 euro fee will
be charged on the web and an 8 euro charge
will be applied on mobile for each extra account.

WhatsApp Is Rolling Out , Passkeys for iOS.
The announcement was made on April 24.
WhatsApp passkey support on iPhones
comes months after Meta's encrypted messaging app made the feature available
to Android users, The Verge reports. .
Passkeys are meant to replace passwords because they are more secure and convenient.
They also enable you to sign in when disconnected from a network.
To enable passkeys for WhatsApp on
iOS, open settings, then go to accounts,
which is where you'll find the option.
However, rollouts can take time, so keep checking if you don't see passkeys right away.
WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah
said more people should see the option
"in the coming weeks.".
Alsawah also said that a QR code from
"Linked Devices" will still need to be scanned to log into the platform on other devices.
“since Mac, Windows and web can’t
be primary devices for an account.”

NBC's 'Think' report highlights a growing
trend of conflict avoidance across a wide
spectrum of interpersonal relationships.
This ranges from "ghosting" friends
and lovers to "quiet quitting" a job. .
Conflict avoidance often serves as an excuse
for avoiding the maintenance that both private
and professional relationships require. .
This avoidance can have long-term impacts, including
lowered resilience, mental health and productivity. .
According to a national survey by Cornell University psychologist
and gerontologist Karl Pillemer, 27% of Americans over the
age of 18 have cut contact with at least one family member. .
