META AI VOICE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.16.10.70 update, we announced that WhatsApp is working on a voice chat mode feature to communicate with Meta AI. This new mode will allow users to communicate with Meta AI more quickly and naturally by enabling real-time voice conversations. Users will be able to have hands-free communication, making it easier to convey complex information or queries directly through voice. This feature is still in development on WhatsApp beta for iOS, but it seems that WhatsApp is committed to further improving the ability to communicate with Meta AI by introducing new options to configure the chatbot. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.17.3 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to manage the Meta AI voice!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is actively developing a feature that will provide users with new options to manage the Meta AI voice, scheduled for release in a future update of the app. This feature aims to enhance the user interaction experience, as it will offer the ability to turn on captions and transcriptions, which will convert speech into text in the conversation with the chatbot. This can be particularly beneficial for users who may have hearing impairments or prefer reading over listening.
Additionally, users will be able to configure the speech output of Meta AI according to their personal preferences. This includes options such as "Full" and "Brief" modes. The "Full" mode will allow Meta AI to provide detailed and comprehensive responses, which can be useful for complex queries or when detailed information is required. On the other hand, the "Brief" mode will enable Meta AI to give concise and to-the-point responses, which can save time for users who prefer not to engage in long conversations. This new customization aims to help users make the communication experience more natural and personalized in the future, tailoring the interaction to their specific needs.
A feature to manage the Meta AI voice is under development and it will be available in a future update. We will keep you updated with an additional article as soon as we have more details to share about this feature.
