Overview

• WhatsApp's new 'Summarize with Meta AI' feature, currently in beta for Android users, condenses unread messages in chats and groups.
• The feature relies on Meta's 'Private Processing' technology, which processes AI requests on external servers without storing message content, but lacks end-to-end encryption.
• Users cannot fully disable the Meta AI integration or the blue circle indicator, though privacy settings can limit its visibility.
• Meta plans to use public Facebook and Instagram data for AI training starting May 27, prompting legal action from the Verbraucherzentrale NRW over privacy concerns.
• European users report underwhelming performance of Meta AI compared to U.S. functionality, likely due to stricter EU privacy regulations.
