Overview

• Writing Help offers AI suggestions to rephrase, proofread, or shift tone with styles like professional, funny, supportive, and rephrase.
• Users tap a new pencil icon in one-on-one or group chats to see alternatives, can edit before sending, and recipients see no AI label.
• WhatsApp says the feature is off by default, processes only the text in the input field, and does not store user data.
• The rollout starts in English for select countries, including the United States, with broader language and regional support planned later this year.
• Coverage notes WhatsApp aims to keep drafting inside the app rather than external tools like ChatGPT, as some users question AI in personal conversations.
