Overview

  • WhatsApp users in the US can now opt in to AI-powered Message Summaries that distill unread chats into brief bullet points.
  • Summaries rely on Meta’s Private Processing technology, ensuring no message content or generated overview ever leaves the device or is accessible to Meta.
  • Disabled by default, the feature can be activated per chat via Settings > Chats > Private Processing, with Advanced Chat Privacy controls to select which conversations are included.
  • Summaries appear only when requested and are visible solely to the user, with no notifications sent to other chat participants.
  • Meta plans to extend AI summaries beyond English and the US later this year, but independent testers note that the accuracy of generated summaries remains unverified.
