Overview

  • WhatsApp’s Message Summaries feature uses Meta AI to quickly generate concise overviews of unread messages in chats.
  • The feature relies on Meta’s Private Processing technology, ensuring neither Meta nor WhatsApp can access or store message content or summaries.
  • Disabled by default, users must enable the tool in Advanced Chat Privacy and can choose which chats are eligible for summarization.
  • The rollout is limited to English-speaking users in the United States, with additional languages and regions planned for later this year.
  • This release is part of Meta’s broader strategy to integrate privacy-preserving AI tools across its messaging platforms.
