The Future of Search: A Paradigm Shift

Get ready for an exciting turn in the digital world! Google, the giant that has dominated the internet for decades, faces its biggest challenge: Artificial Generative Intelligence (GAI). With an impressive 89.71% market share in 2025, its reign seems unbreakable… but the wind is changing. Consulting firms like Gartner predict that traditional search engines will lose up to 25% of their relevance by 2026. The reason? AI chatbots and virtual assistants are revolutionizing the way we interact with information.

The Battle for Digital Dominance

Alan Antin, vice president of Gartner, said it clearly: “IAG solutions are replacing queries that were previously made in traditional search engines.” This is not just a technological evolution, it is a revolution! Companies like OpenAI and Perplexity are gaining traction, offering accurate and contextual answers without having to navigate through links. Infobip’s Ivan Ostojic calls it “The Search Engine War”, and you have a front-row seat to witness it.

But here’s the fascinating thing: Google is not far behind. With its AI Overview feature, it recorded 16.5 billion visits in December 2024, far surpassing ChatGPT (517 million) and Bing Copilot (376.6 million). However, the growth of IAG is unstoppable. Statista projects that 36 million US adults will use AI first for their searches in 2028, almost triple the number in 2024!

Adapt or Left Behind

This change does not only affect the technological giants. SEO and web monetization models are in check. Ostojic warns: “Traffic to websites could decrease, impacting advertising and the income of media and creators”. But, as always, in every crisis there is an opportunity. Innovative alliances, such as Perplexity with Time and Fortune, show a path forward: interactive content, subscriptions and direct integration with AI systems.

Jessica Lessin, a journalist at The Atlantic, offers a critical but valuable perspective: “Newsrooms should focus on what they do best: quality journalism.” Instead of depending on technology, it is time to reinvent yourself and create unique value. This is the time to shine for those who dare to innovate!

The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: artificial intelligence is here to transform how we search, consume and monetize information. Are you ready to be part of this revolution?

End of support for older devices

WhatsApp periodically updates its list of compatible devices. The reason is technical: new features require newer operating systems and security measures that older computers cannot offer.

Currently, the app works on Android 5.0 or higher and iOS 15.1 and up. Models that do not meet these requirements will be out of service starting in July 2026.

Affected devices

Devices that will lose compatibility include:

Samsung: Galaxy S3, S4, S4 Mini, Ace 4, Core II
LG: Optimus G, L5 II, L7 II, L70, L90
Sony: Xperia Z, M, E1, L, SP
Motorola: Moto G, Moto E, Moto X (first generation)
Huawei: Ascend P6, Ascend G6, Ascend Y530
HTC: One M7, Desire 500, Desire 300, Desire 601

The company evaluates every year which devices have the fewest users and lack security updates. Therefore, it recommends that users of these models consider a change to more recent devices to continue using WhatsApp without problems.

WhatsApp launches usernames to protect phone numbers

New function allows you to chat without sharing a phone number. Gradual deployment in the coming months.

Publicado 4 days ago el 29 de junio a las 14:53 | 2 mins reading

How does the new WhatsApp option work?

WhatsApp announced the arrival of usernames, a feature designed to strengthen privacy. Starting this week, users can reserve a name, although the tool will be rolled out gradually over the coming months.

The mechanics are simple: instead of sharing the phone number, a username is given. This prevents the number from being exposed when starting a conversation. The company recommends using this option in situations such as events, interaction with neighbors or groups where not all the members are known.

For example, a parent can join their child’s sports team chat without revealing their number to the entire group. If someone wants to contact you on WhatsApp, just give them the username.

Booking step by step

To reserve a username, the user must have the most recent version of the application. Then follow this route:

Enter “Settings” from WhatsApp.
Click on “Account”.
The “Username” option will appear. Choose the one you want to recognize you.
When you click “Save”, the app will indicate if it is available. If it is, it is reserved. If not, he will ask to find another one.

The company noted that users will receive an in-app notification when usernames are available in their region. The feature will be gradually enabled in different countries.
