Movie star Whoopi Goldberg, who is a longtime fan of superhero movies, is currently writing one of her own. It stars an old Black woman as the superhero who starts off as an average person who gains powers and learns to use them over the course of the movie.

WhatsApp is testing a new speed feature on the playback of voice messages. A speed symbol could show up right next to the voice message so that users could increase the speed of the playback – but not decrease.
