WhatsApp Beta Unveils New Meta AI Voice Messaging Capability

Reading Time: < 1 minute read

2024 saw the mad rush of all the technology giants to incorporate AI chatbots into daily life. Spearheading this charge are Google Gemini and ChatGPT. Not far behind is Metaโ€”having rolled out Meta AI voice into WhatsApp. This makes chatting with Meta AI easier.

WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.24.16.10 is incorporating a new feature that will allow users to forward their voice messages to Meta AI. This way, there is no longer the need to write long, boring prompts. WaBetaInfo shared a screenshot of the new featureโ€”inside the Meta AI chat interface, it’s evident that there is now a voice message button.

Now, Meta’s AI voice chat could work like regular voice messages. Details regarding supported languages are yet to be revealed, but certainly, multilingual support would be there owing to WhatsApp’s strong popularity in South Asia. This could broaden its usability.

The key would be how it works within WhatsApp. Meta AI will either respond or maybe even recommend responses to messages. Or maybe it’s going to be a general voice assistant for web searches and recommendations. If that’s the case, it’ll go up against the voice assistants already in place from smartphones.

Currently available only to beta testers, it should soon reach a broader audience. We are waiting to see how this feature further evolves.
