HIGHLIGHTS

WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to share voice messages with Meta AI to some beta testers on Android.

Previously, interactions with Meta AI were limited to text-based communication.

The new feature is especially beneficial for those who need to ask questions while on the go.

In June, Meta rolled out Meta AI in India, and I’ve been experimenting with it on WhatsApp ever since. The integration has been quite a game-changer, transforming how I interact on the platform. Now, WhatsApp is taking things a step further by rolling out a new feature that allows users to share voice messages directly with Meta AI. As someone who’s found this integration immensely useful, I’m excited to see how this new development enhances our conversations.

But what’s the catch? So, WhatsApp is currently only rolling out this feature to select beta testers on Android. Let’s delve into the details.

Beta users will now see a new button added to the interface that allows them to send voice messages directly to Meta AI. Previously, interactions with Meta AI were limited to text-based communication, which could be less efficient and slower than speaking.

With this update, users can communicate with Meta AI using voice commands, making the exchange faster and more natural. This new capability is especially beneficial for those who need to convey information or ask questions while on the go.

Meta AI’s advanced speech recognition technology ensures that voice messages are accurately understood, the report said.

In instances where the AI might struggle with unclear audio due to background noise or poor recording quality, it will prompt users to re-record their message. This helps maintain clear and effective communication, enhancing the overall user experience.
