Overview

• The AI-powered summaries feature went live June 25 for WhatsApp users in the United States, initially supporting English.
• Users can toggle the feature off or on under Settings > Chats > Private Processing, with summaries disabled by default.
• Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology so that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can access user messages or the generated recaps.
• Summaries are visible only to the recipient, ensuring chats remain end-to-end encrypted and private.
• Meta plans to expand language and regional support for the feature later this year.
