Meta is introducing an AI-powered feature to WhatsApp that summarizes unread messages. This optional feature, using Meta AI, provides summaries visible only to the user, ensuring privacy. Meta emphasizes that the technology uses Private Processing, preventing access to messages by Meta or WhatsApp. Initially launching in the U.S. with English support, the feature will expand to more regions and languages later this year. Users can enable or disable this feature through a new setting within the app.
