WhatsApp Unveils New AI Features While Ensuring Full Message Secrecy

WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, has announced a major expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, promising to enhance user experience while reinforcing its longstanding commitment to privacy and message secrecy.

Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, has integrated its generative AI assistant, Meta, directly into the app, allowing users to ask questions, generate images, and receive recommendations in real time.

Users can interact with Meta AI in one-on-one chats or group conversations, and even create AI-generated stickers and images, as per a report by Engineering Fb. 

The AI features are available in select countries and support multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Hindi.

Beyond Meta AI, WhatsApp now supports third-party AI integrations such as Perplexity AI, which offers advanced answering, summarization, and content generation without requiring a separate app or sign-up.

This makes AI-powered tools more accessible to WhatsApp’s vast global user base.
