Meta is adding AI-powered summaries to WhatsApp | TechCrunch
Key takeaways:
- Meta is introducing an AI-powered message summaries feature in WhatsApp to help users quickly review unread messages.
- The summaries are private, visible only to the user, and generated using Meta’s “Private Processing” technology, ensuring end-to-end encryption and user privacy are preserved.
- The feature is off by default but can be activated through Settings > Chats > Private Processing, where users can manage individual AI functions.
- Initially, the feature is rolling out in the U.S. with English support, with plans to expand to more languages and regions later in the year.
- Meta AI uses on-device context to generate summaries or writing suggestions without sending or exposing chat content to Meta or WhatsApp servers.
