Meta is developing a new functionality in WhatsApp, which will rely on AI of the corporation, which will be able to create summaries of messages that were not read. This tool gives summaries of a conversation and so its users can be able to follow up. Its functional ability is under beta testing with limited users.

Highlights:

• AI summaries extract key points from unread messages.
• The feature processes data on-device where possible for privacy.
• A tap-to-view summary button appears atop relevant chats.
• It focuses initially on group conversations.
• Rollout follows a phased approach after beta refinement.

When the chat is opened with unread messages, the dedicated button will appear in front of the user. When turned on, the Artificial Intelligence in WhatsApp scans the messages. The AI determines the crucial topics, issues, or to do in the unread material. Through these AI summaries, there is some form of the delivery of missed discussions.

According to WhatsApp, these AI summaries are used inside its established privacy guidelines. The characteristic puts more emphasis on processing on the device to ensure privacy to the user. The summarization is achieved by using AI technology provided by Meta in alignment with the principles of security by WhatsApp.

Currently, there is a limited beta of the AI summaries feature. WhatsApp has a wider, stage-wise rollout in consideration of test inputs. Such functionality deals with the typical dilemma of handling a large number of messages in a group chat. The goal of the AI summaries is to save time to users.
