Overview

• The opt-in feature is rolling out in English to users in the United States and select other countries, with broader language and region support planned later this year.
• Users access the tool via a new pencil icon in one-on-one or group chats after enabling Private Processing in settings.
• Writing Help offers at least three alternatives per draft across preset tones including Rephrase, Professional, Funny, Supportive, and Proofread.
• WhatsApp says only the text in the input field is processed, conversation history is not scanned, requests are anonymized and transient, and no content is stored.
• Recipients receive no label indicating AI assistance, and coverage frames the launch as a move to keep drafting inside WhatsApp rather than relying on external tools like ChatGPT.
