Overview

  • Writing Help offers AI suggestions to rephrase, proofread, or shift tone with options like professional, funny or supportive.
  • Users can tap a new pencil icon in one-on-one or group chats to generate and edit suggested rewrites before sending.
  • The rollout starts in English with limited availability, with reports differing on whether access is US-only or in select countries.
  • WhatsApp says neither it nor Meta can read original messages or the AI’s suggestions when the tool is used.
  • The launch aligns with Meta’s push to keep drafting inside WhatsApp rather than external tools like ChatGPT, though some question its value for casual conversations.
