But instead of showing your messages, WhatsApp uses Meta AI to generate a bulleted summary of what you missed.
It uses Meta’s Private Processing technology, which the company claims will prevent it and other third parties from snooping on your messages.
WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, says its AI message summaries are optional, and the feature is turned off by default.
We still don’t know if WhatsApp’s AI message summaries will struggle with accuracy, which is something we saw with the launch of Apple’s AI-generated message and notification rundowns.
Other people in the group chat won’t be able to see the message summaries, either.
