CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): WhatsApp has now launched a new feature named Message Summaries, aimed at allowing users to easily review unread messages through the use of artificial intelligence.
The feature utilizes Meta AI to create quick summaries of chat threads, enabling you the catch up on those few hundred group chat messages you don’t want to go through.
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 not enabled by default and is optional. It can be enabled in the Advanced Chat Privacy settings, where you can also decide which chats qualify for AI-based features.
As of today, the Message Summaries feature is only being offered in the United States and supports the English language.
WhatsApp has announced that it will roll out the feature to other parts of the world and add support for other languages later this year. That means Pakistani users will have to wait, but it’s coming sooner or later.
