WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.16.10: what's new?

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.24.16.10.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to share voice messages with Meta AI, and it's available to some beta testers!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.20 update, we announced that WhatsApp is currently in the process of developing a feature to allow Meta AI to reply to photos and edit them. Through this enhancement, users will be able to interact with their photos in new ways by asking Meta AI questions about the content in the future, such as identifying objects or providing context. Additionally, users will have the ability to make quick edits and adjustments to their photos directly within the chat. It seems that WhatsApp is now dedicated to introducing additional features for Meta AI, with the aim to enhance interactions with the chatbot. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.16.10 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to share voice messages with Meta AI!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, a button to send voice messages has been added to the chat interface, allowing some beta testers to quickly and easily communicate with Meta AI using voice commands. With the previous updates, users were restricted to communicating with Meta AI only through text. This limited interaction meant users could only type their questions or commands to receive responses from Meta AI. However, a limited number of beta testers can now use voice messages to interact with Meta AI, enabling a more natural and efficient way of communication.

The ability to share voice messages with Meta AI allows for quicker communication, as speaking is generally faster than typing. This can be particularly useful for users who need to share information or ask questions on the go. Thanks to Meta AI's advanced speech recognition technology, the AI chatbot can accurately understand the content of voice messages, ensuring that users' queries are comprehended and addressed effectively. In cases where Meta AI cannot understand the content of a voice message, perhaps due to background noise or poor audio quality, the chatbot will prompt users to record the message again. This ensures that communication always remains clear and effective, maintaining a high standard of user experience and interaction with the AI.

It is also worth noting that this update significantly expands the number of beta testers who can finally experience Meta AI, particularly in India. This expansion allows a much larger group of users to interact with the technology, enabling them to use it to get advice and answers on a wide range of topics. These users can also experiment with additional chatbots through AI Studio, previously announced with the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.15.10 update. These new chatbots are designed to cater to specific needs and preferences, providing users with tailored interactions and more precise responses.

A feature to share voice messages with Meta AI is available to some beta testers who install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and it is rolling out to even more people over the coming weeks.
