WhatsApp Gets AI That Reads Your Chats and Suggests Replies
Meta's messaging app drops a wave of AI features, including smart reply suggestions and photo editing tools.
WhatsApp just shipped a batch of AI-powered features that dig deeper into your conversations than ever before. The headline addition: an AI tool that analyzes your chat history and generates suggested replies on the fly.
That means Meta's AI is now actively reading your messages to serve up context-aware responses. Whether that's convenient or creepy depends on your relationship with the privacy line Meta keeps tiptoeing around.
The update also brings AI-powered photo touch-ups directly inside the app, leveraging Meta AI to edit images before you send them. It's part of a broader feature dump that keeps pushing WhatsApp further into the AI-everything territory Meta has been aggressively pursuing across its product lineup.
No word yet on which markets get the rollout first or whether any features remain opt-in. The changes are rolling out now.
