According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter revealed that Alibaba will invest $200 million in the well-known online grocer in India, Bigbasket, and intensify competition with rival Amazon.

3. The update of WeChat iOS version brings a new call interface with the same level as native applications
iOS WeChat released version 6.6.0 today, bringing three new features: retraction messages can be edited, notes in collections can be saved as pictures, shared to friends circles, and voice chats can be answered like a system phone. WeChat can always perform voice and video chats, but they are all internal functions of WeChat. After upgrading the new version, when you receive a voice chat invitation, the phone will have the corresponding interface and ring the ring notification like the incoming call provided by the system. Even if the other party is not on the WeChat interface, it will be displayed on the top layer of the phone like the system calls, which is basically not much different from the system calls. If you don't like this, or are afraid of being interrupted by playing games, you can also go to WeChat settings and turn off "Accept voice and video chat invitation notifications".
