WhatsApp is expanding its features for beta users on iOS and Android to create a more intelligent and user-centric platform. Key updates include:
-
AI-Powered Message Summaries: This feature allows users to quickly catch up on conversations with three or more unread messages. Utilizing a "Private Processing" framework, it generates concise summaries without storing message content, prioritizing privacy.
-
AI Writing Help: While composing messages, users can opt for suggestions to enhance their text in various tones (e.g., professional, funny). This private tool does not notify recipients of enhancements, ensuring discretion.
-
Media Auto-Download Quality Control: Users can now select a default quality for auto-downloads, either "Standard" or "HD," to save data and storage while retaining access to higher-quality versions.
- "Raise Hand" Feature in Calls: During group voice and video calls, participants can signal their intent to speak with a raised hand emoji, improving organization and communication flow.
These updates emphasize privacy and customization.
