- WhatsApp has announced private message summaries that lets you summarize long chats with Meta AI.
- The company is using its Private Processing technology to summarize chats without compromising user privacy.
- The feature is currently rolling out in the US, with plans for a wider release later.
WhatsApp is working on a feature to summarize chats in the app. Now, WhatsApp has officially released private message summary, which allows you to summarize long messages on the app with the help of Meta AI.
Back in May, we reported that WhatsApp is planning to summarize long chats with Meta AI. Now, WhatsApp has officially announced the new feature in its latest blog post on Wednesday. As you might have guessed, it lets you easily summarize long messages or group conversations in the chat.
It will allow you to quickly catch up with everything without having to go through the entire conversation. However, other people won’t know that you have summarized their chats.
The blog mentions, “Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology, which allows Meta AI to generate a response without Meta or WhatsApp ever seeing your messages or the private summaries.”
To make it possible, WhatsApp is using Private Processing. This is a new system they announced in May, which allows users to use AI features without compromising their data. WhatsApp further added that message summaries are disabled by default, giving you control over your privacy. Users can even turn on Advanced Chat Privacy to further prevent the use of any AI features.
Message summaries are currently supported in the English language and are rolling out in the US for now. The company has plans to push it in other regions later down the line, so if you are not in the US, then expect it to arrive sometime later this year.
