Suspense crime, Digital Desk : We've all been there: you put your phone down for an hour, only to return to a group chat flooded with hundreds of unread messages. Catching up can feel like a chore, but missing out isn't an option. Soon, you won't have to choose.
WhatsApp is developing a game-changing new feature that uses Meta AI to automatically summarize your unread messages, helping you get the gist of a long conversation in seconds.
This powerful new tool, recently spotted in the beta version of the app by the reliable feature-leaking site WABetaInfo, is designed to combat information overload and save you significant time.
How It Will Work
The feature is designed to be simple and intuitive:
- When you open a chat that has a large number of unread messages, a new "AI Summary" button will appear within the chat.
- Tapping this button will trigger Meta's AI to scan through the unread messages.
- The AI will then generate a concise, bullet-pointed summary, highlighting the key points of the conversation.
- This allows you to quickly understand what you've missed without having to scroll through every single message.
The Bigger Picture: Meta's AI Push
This feature is part of a broader strategy by parent company Meta to integrate its advanced AI across all its platforms, including Instagram and Facebook. The goal is to make these apps more helpful and engaging by using artificial intelligence to simplify common tasks.
Is It Secure?
For a platform built on end-to-end encryption, the idea of an AI "reading" your messages raises immediate privacy questions. While details are still emerging, the feature is expected to be opt-in, and the AI processing will likely happen on your device to ensure that the privacy guaranteed by end-to-end encryption is maintained.
When Can You Get It?
The AI summary feature is currently in the early stages of development and is being tested on the Android beta version of WhatsApp. There is no official release date yet, but its appearance in beta testing is a strong sign that it is actively being worked on and could be rolled out to the public in the coming months.
