WhatsApp has officially rolled out a new feature called Message Summaries, designed to help users quickly review unread messages using artificial intelligence. The tool uses Meta AI to generate concise summaries of chats, making it easy to catch up on those hundreds of group chat messages you don’t wanna go through.
How the Feature Works:
When tapping on the unread message count in any chat, WhatsApp displays a bullet-point summary of the messages. These summaries are generated locally using Meta’s Private Processing technology, which is designed to maintain user privacy. According to WhatsApp, neither Meta nor WhatsApp can read the original messages or the AI-generated summaries, and other participants in the conversation do not have access to your summaries either. The Message Summaries feature is optional and remains disabled by default. It can be enabled through the Advanced Chat Privacy settings, where you can also choose which chats are eligible for AI-based features.
Current Limitations :
As of now, the Message Summaries feature is only available in the United States and supports the English language. WhatsApp has stated that it will gradually expand the feature to other regions and introduce support for additional languages later in the year. This means Pakistani users will have to wait a while, but it’s coming eventually.
