WhatsApp Rolls Out AI Message Summaries Across More Languages

Meta says the tool runs on-device with end-to-end encryption, requiring explicit opt-in.

Overview

  • The feature condenses unread messages in individual and group chats into concise, bullet-style highlights generated by Meta AI.
  • Availability now includes Spanish, English, Portuguese and Indonesian, with a gradual rollout by region and operating system still in progress.
  • Processing occurs locally via Private Compute, and Meta states it does not access or store messages or the generated summaries.
  • Summaries are visible only to the requester, remain end-to-end encrypted, and other chat participants are not notified.
  • The function is off by default, requires enabling private processing, supports per-chat limits through advanced privacy settings, and Meta cites independent expert audits of the technology.
