WhatsApp has always been known for introducing fresh and innovative features to increase user engagement on the platform. If you have been away from your smartphone for a few hours and hence missed the message from your loved ones, then don’t worry because WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that will help you to keep up with the unread and missed messages and conversations.

Here’s What AI-generated Summaries on WhatsApp

In a new report, the instant-messaging app has introduced a fresh feature powered by Meta AI. This feature can help users quickly catch up on conversations and then summarize the overall missed messages. Now you don’t have to scroll through unread messages in chat and hence you can will now be able to tap a button and receive a bullet point summary of the missed messages.

This newly introduced feature will save time, especially in a busy group chats. Additionally, this will also be helpful when returning to long threads after a break.

AI-generated Summaries on WhatsApp Availability:

The feature is currently only being released in English and hence only available for the users in the United States. Nevertheless, Meta has announced that they will expand the feature to other languages and region in coming months or later this year.

One of the striking features of AI-summaries is that is runs on Meta’s Private Processing technology. It means your messages are safe and cannot be read by neither Meta or any third parties. The content of your messages will not be read by anyone.

mportantly, this new AI tool is entirely optional. It comes turned off by default, and users have full control over whether or not they want to enable it. Additionally, WhatsApp offers an “Advanced Privacy” option, allowing users to block the use of AI features in group chats altogether. This ensures that users who prefer a more traditional experience aren’t forced into interacting with AI-powered tools.
