WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that lets users access and share media from their Instagram and Facebook accounts directly inside WhatsApp, reducing the need to switch between apps.

According to WABetaInfo, users can select Instagram Stories, Facebook posts, photos, videos and Reels from within WhatsApp and share them in chats or Status updates. The feature requires users to link their WhatsApp account to Meta Accounts Center.

How It Works

When users open WhatsApp’s media picker, they can switch to list view and select Instagram or Facebook as a media source. Their available content then appears in a familiar grid for easy selection and sharing.

The feature is currently rolling out to some beta testers on the latest Android and iOS versions, with wider availability expected gradually.

Meta Accounts Center remains optional, and WhatsApp says linking accounts does not change the end-to-end encryption protecting personal messages and calls.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis has raised concerns about the impact of Test captaincy on Babar Azam’s batting, following Pakistan’s 3-0 Test series defeat to England.

Speaking at an event in Manchester, Waqar praised Babar’s technical ability and described him as a “very sound” and “complete” batter. However, he said Babar appears to take too much pressure upon himself when given leadership responsibilities.

Waqar said he believes Babar’s individual performances have suffered when he takes on the captaincy and warned that Pakistan could be “losing a player” if the additional responsibility continues to affect his batting.

Babar returned as Pakistan’s Test captain earlier this year after Shan Masood was removed from the role. Pakistan drew their two-Test series in the West Indies before losing all three Tests against England.

The comments add to the ongoing debate surrounding Babar’s leadership role and his future as Pakistan’s Test captain.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has reportedly clarified that a wife’s right to property mentioned as Haq Mehr (dower) in the Nikahnama does not automatically disappear if the property is not transferred to her.

According to reports, where the agreed property cannot be transferred, the husband may remain responsible for fulfilling the dower obligation through payment of the property’s applicable value, subject to the facts and findings of the case.

The court has also emphasized the legal importance of the Nikahnama, which records the terms agreed upon at the time of marriage. Pakistani courts have previously held that Haq Mehr is a legally enforceable right and can be demanded by the wife.

Separately, the Supreme Court has directed Nikah registrars to verify ownership when property is included as dower, particularly where the property is jointly owned.

Pakistan’s usable oil and gas reserves reportedly increased to around 3.72 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) by June 2026, bringing the estimated life of the country’s total hydrocarbon reserves to around 19 years.

According to Arif Habib Limited:

Oil reserves rose 15% to around 276 million barrels by June 2025.
Gas reserves increased 9% to approximately 20,664 billion cubic feet.

The report says new oil and gas discoveries, along with increases in reserves at several fields, have largely offset the decline in older reserves.

The figures highlight the continuing role of domestic exploration and new discoveries in supporting Pakistan’s energy resources.

The National Assembly Secretariat has introduced additional fuel-conservation and austerity measures as part of its broader cost-cutting programme.

According to a notification issued by the Secretariat and approved by National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, 50% of staff will perform duties physically at their workplaces, while the remaining 50% will work from home on a rotational basis. The arrangement will take effect immediately and remain in force until further orders.

Under the new system, respective wings will prepare rotational duty rosters, which will be approved by the competent authority. The move is aimed at reducing fuel consumption and operational expenses while maintaining the functioning of the Secretariat.

The National Assembly has already introduced several austerity measures this year, including reductions in official transport use and increased reliance on virtual working arrangements.

A large-scale seizure of goods vehicles and containers in Islamabad and Rawalpindi has disrupted the movement of essential supplies and triggered serious concerns among transporters.

According to recent reports, around 1,000 containers, trucks, trailers and other heavy vehicles have been detained ahead of several planned long marches in the capital. Transporters say the move has disrupted supplies of food, medicines, dry fruits and other goods to the twin cities.

The All Pakistan Goods Transport Owners Association has also reported significant financial losses, including daily detention and demurrage costs. Earlier reports put container-related losses at around Rs280 million, while transporters have warned that prolonged seizures and disruption could push the overall losses much higher.

Transporters are demanding the release of their vehicles and a clear mechanism for compensation, while authorities have cited regulatory and security concerns surrounding heavy vehicles.

Karachi is experiencing an unusually intense spell of hot and humid weather, with the city recording 41°C on September 21—the highest September temperature recorded in Karachi in the past decade, according to PMD data reported by Dawn.

Meteorologists attributed the extreme conditions partly to a persistent low-pressure area that disrupted the sea breeze, one of Karachi’s natural cooling mechanisms. The system also contributed to the lack of significant monsoon rainfall in the city.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department expected temperatures to ease somewhat as the low-pressure system weakened, with Karachi forecast around 36–38°C on September 22.

For residents, the combination of high temperatures and humidity can make conditions feel even hotter, highlighting the need for hydration and precautions during peak daytime hours.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has imposed a Rs38.889 million fine on Zong over repeated failures to meet prescribed Quality of Service (QoS) standards.

According to the enforcement order, PTA surveys identified network-performance deficiencies in several locations. The regulator had previously directed Zong to take corrective measures, but follow-up verification found continued non-compliance in areas including Buner, Matiari, Murree and Pindi Bhattian.

PTA has given Zong 30 days to pay the fine and submit a comprehensive technical compliance report demonstrating that the identified service issues have been rectified.

The action comes amid increased regulatory scrutiny of mobile and internet service quality in Pakistan.
