    WhatsApp is testing a new feature to make it easier to view Status updates.

    WhatsApp is experimenting with a new feature to make it easier for users to engage with the Status feature, resembling Instagram and Facebook Stories. The parent company, Meta, is working on a shortcut that allows users to see photos and videos of their contacts directly on the Status View page.

    A new testing option is already available on Instagram and Facebook.

    The new feature in beta version 2.24.19.4 for Android, as reported by WABetaInfo, enhances the usability of Status by enabling users to view updates without having to navigate the app’s home screen horizontal tray, potentially increasing user engagement with short-term posts.

    Currently, the new shortcut is being tested, and there is no estimated release date for all WhatsApp users. Meta anticipates that this update will enhance the visibility of Status and streamline interactions.

  • New technology will make it easier for companies engaged in international trade.

    New technology will make it easier for companies engaged in international trade.

    Brazilian foreign trade companies are experiencing a significant transformation with the introduction of the Single Import Declaration (DUIMP). Expected to be compulsory by the end of 2025, this new system will enhance import processes by simplifying documentation and procedures, leading to faster and more efficient operations.

    Many businesses may face difficulties with implementing DUIMP, leading to potential legal issues and penalties. Ensuring the product catalog remains current is a key obstacle, as swift updates are necessary to prevent operational delays due to new items or revisions in regulations.

    Technology can be beneficial in offering assistance.

    Conexos Cloud, developed by Conexos, a division of NTT DATA, is a software solution that assists businesses in adjusting to evolving circumstances. This tool streamlines product catalog updates by automatically detecting the need for new additions or modifications. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with the government platform PUCOMEX to ensure accurate and error-free processes.

    Claudenir Scalzer, CEO of Conexos, states that Conexos Cloud saves time, minimizes errors, and ensures compliance with DUIMP regulations.

    Companies that neglect technology investment risk falling behind and losing competitiveness in the global market, according to Diogo Brito, NTT DATA’s director. Continuous information updates are crucial for the New Import Process (NPI), with tools like Cloud Connections facilitating rapid and efficient operations.

    Foreign trade companies must invest in technological solutions to ensure a smooth transition as the DUIMP implementation deadline nears. Compliance with regulations is crucial for success, and utilizing tools like Cloud Connections can make a significant difference in operating efficiently in the global market.
