WhatsApp, the popular Meta-owned messaging app, is developing a fascinating update that will feature a separate Meta AI screen. The new feature is designed to make it easier for users to interact with the chatbot and make AI-based assistance more convenient and efficient.
WABetaInfo disclosed the most recent upgrade, which was based on the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.5.22. According to reports, a future update will provide the new Meta AI interface, which would give consumers a simpler way to interact with the chatbot without having to open a regular chat window.
The upcoming feature will make it possible to turn on the Meta AI screen by long-pressing the Meta AI floating action button from the list of chats. After opening, users can control the chatbot directly with voice commands. There is no longer a need to open a chat manually, so AI-driven support becomes more efficient and time-saving.
One of the major points of this feature is that Meta AI will listen only to voice commands when the exclusive screen is out. This alleviates worries regarding background listening and accidental voice recognition and allows users to decide precisely when the chatbot may process voice commands.
In addition to this, the OS control ensures that, whenever Meta AI is listening, Android OS provides a privacy indicator in the status bar for added user privacy; no app, not even WhatsApp, can bypass or mask the functionality of this indicator since the OS controls it.
With such an added sense of transparency, the aim is to assure privacy and gain user trust in AI-driven interactions. In addition, users can quickly leave the listening mode and switch over to text input whenever they want.
For this purpose, the microphone button can be easily tapped or one can input through the text entry field, ensuring that users exercise full authority on their interaction of choice.
Another interesting feature of the new Meta AI screen is that it allows users to set the voice of the chatbot right from the interface itself. That implies that users won’t have to go through the chatbot info screen anymore to adjust settings. Rather, they can easily change AI voice settings and personalise options.
This launch of this exclusive screen is a major milestone towards WhatsApp’s mission to improve AI-driven interactions. Through the removal of the necessity of manually accessing a chat and then choosing a mode of interaction, the Meta AI feature will provide an easier, quicker, and more convenient experience.
With the upcoming update, WhatsApp is looking to make AI support more intuitive and user-friendly, further establishing itself as a top messaging platform with advanced AI features.
