A smartphone screen displays a WhatsApp message reading "Happy Valentine's Day!" next to a prompt asking, "Have you spotted WhatsApp’s secret message?" with the AI British Sign Language company logo.

A screenshot of the WhatsApp chat background and text which says "Its default background includes the American Sign Language for 'I love you'. The AI British Sign Language company logo is underneath.

Four circles stacked vertically. The top three show the fingerspelling of the letters 'I', 'L', and 'Y' in American Sign Language (ASL). The bottom circle shows how the 'I', 'L' and 'Y' signs are combined into one to create the phrase 'I love you'. The AI British Sign Language company logo is underneath.

A promotional image which says "Looking to make your text, audio, or video resources accessible in ASL or BSL? DM us to explore how AI-powered translation can help. Happy Valentine's Day!" There is a graphic of an envelope sealed with a heart. The AI British Sign Language company logo is below.

Happy #ValentinesDay!
Ever spotted Whatsapp's hidden love note?💌

Its default background shows the #ASL sign for "I love you” 🤟
A signal of inclusion to remind us every user matters.

Representation sparks awareness.
Love is about connection. #Accessibility should be too.

The AI British Sign Language logo with the words 'powered by Signapse'. There is a laptop underneath. The laptop screen says "join our webinar! Thursday 18th September 2025, 9:30 to 10:15 BST". Yellow arrows point from the right edge of the laptop to three bubbles which outline what the webinar will cover. The first bubble says "Why can't English text replace BSL?". The second says "How does AI handle the complexity of BSL?". The last bubble says "What services are available if I want to add AI BSL to my resources and events?".
