WhatsApp Expands Cross Device Features With iPad, CarPlay, PDF and Music Updates

 

WhatsApp has announced a set of new features that it will be rolling out to its users on tablets, computers and connected vehicles. The latest developments will bring the messaging service to iPad users, provide additional document management solutions and enable music sharing from Spotify and Apple Music. The changes are expected to empower users to collaborate and work seamlessly across devices. Among the most anticipated developments is WhatsApp’s entry into the iPad market. 

The application has announced that its users will be able to access WhatsApp account directly via an application on Apple’s iPad. Previously, iPad users had to rely on alternative measures such as web browsers. WhatsApp users on iPad can expect seamless end-to-end encrypted chats, voice and video calls enabled by the new application. The new application joins other measures such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and WhatsApp Web that facilitate WhatsApp’s use on devices other than smartphones. 

WhatsApp is also set to introduce additional productivity tools designed to improve document management. WhatsApp Web and the computer version of the application will be able to connect to Adobe Acrobat. This will enable users to open PDF files directly from WhatsApp using Adobe Acrobat without having to download the documents first. WhatsApp also ensures that users can edit any documents they receive via WhatsApp using Adobe Acrobat. WhatsApp is also expected to bring music sharing to users. WhatsApp users will be able to share music from Spotify and Apple Music directly on WhatsApp status. 

This will allow users to share their favorite songs, albums, playlists and recommendations with friends and family seamlessly. The latest developments also ensure that music lovers can interact with others about their favorite track without having to share links manually. WhatsApp’s latest developments bring both communication and collaboration features to users who interact via the messaging platform. 

While some features have been available on other devices such as smartphones, WhatsApp is ensuring its users can carry out tasks seamlessly on other devices such as tablets. The company has also added convenience elements by enabling features such as direct document opening and editing on WhatsApp. With WhatsApp’s availability on iPad and in-car features such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, users will be able to use WhatsApp to communicate and collaborate more efficiently. 

The application also ensures that its users can share and interact with music from their favorite streaming services directly on WhatsApp. Features such as document management in WhatsApp via Adobe Acrobat will also empower users to carry out more tasks effortlessly.

Music Industry Introduces Voluntary AI Labels to Improve Transparency in Recordings

 

Several leading music industry organisations have introduced a new voluntary labelling framework for recordings created using generative artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to improve transparency for listeners and encourage wider adoption across the global music ecosystem. 

The initiative, announced on July 10, is backed by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Recording Academy (Grammys), and six other industry bodies. 

Highlighting the need for greater transparency, the chief executives of IFPI and RIAA said in a joint statement, "Fans want to know whether and how generative AI has been used. These labels will provide an immediately understandable and easily scalable approach to transparency." 

The framework introduces two categories of labels. The first, "AI-generated," is intended for recordings where artificial intelligence is responsible for generating the entire recording or the majority of its creative elements. This includes music created entirely from AI prompts, as well as tracks featuring AI-generated lead vocals or key instrumental components. 

The second category, "AI-assisted," applies to recordings that remain primarily human-created while incorporating certain AI-generated expressive elements. Under this classification, lead vocals and primary instrumental performances must still be delivered by human artists. 

The organisations said the voluntary system is designed for broad global adoption and could eventually be implemented by music streaming platforms to provide listeners with greater clarity about how AI is used in music production. 

The announcement comes as streaming platforms continue to experience a rapid increase in AI-generated music. Deezer currently identifies AI-generated tracks on its platform and recently reported that nearly half of all new uploads contain AI-generated content. In June, the company also introduced an AI music detection tool that it claims delivers 99.8% accuracy. 

Earlier this year, an Apple Music executive told Billboard that more than one-third of newly uploaded tracks on the platform were created entirely using AI. 

Responding to the announcement, the Digital Media Association (DiMA), which represents streaming services including Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify, welcomed the move and said it looks forward to receiving more detailed AI-related metadata to improve transparency for listeners. 

DiMA CEO Graham Davies said, "DiMA has long advocated for the creators, owners, and distributors of music to provide accurate and timely metadata on all music released and distributed to streaming services."  

Spotify has also been expanding its efforts to address AI-generated content. In April, the company introduced its "Verified by Spotify" label to help users identify authentic artists, following earlier initiatives aimed at improving AI disclosure and preventing impersonation. 

Spotify declined to comment on the latest industry initiative, while Apple Music and the Digital Media Association did not immediately respond to media queries.

Apple to shut down iTunes




Apple has officially confirmed that they are now shutting down their 18-year-old iTunes music library and replacing it with three new different apps. 

The firm revealed it will be launching three newer entertainment apps Apple Music, Apple Podcast, and Apple TV. 

The users of iTunes music should not worry as they will still have access to their existing music library. 

“Users will have access to their entire music library, whether they downloaded the songs, purchased them or ripped them from a CD,” reads a press release.

The customer’s music library would be automatically transferred to Apple Music, audiobooks and podcasts would be shifted to Apple Podcast, and videos will be stored in the Apple TV app. 

However, users using any other operating system rather than a Mac, will not be able to download the latest three apps, and for them, iTunes Music would be still available.
