What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on feature to generate AI-powered topics for the Meta AI chatbot, and it will be available in a future update!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.8.7 update, we announced that a feature to initiate call-like sessions with the Meta AI chatbot is under development. allow users to continue their conversation with Meta AI even when switching apps, ensuring a seamless and hands-free interaction. When users access the dedicated Meta AI screen, a call-like session will automatically start, enabling them to multitask efficiently while engaging with the AI assistant. With this functionality, users will be able to browse websites, check emails, or use other applications while simultaneously asking Meta AI real-time questions related to the content they are viewing. This enhances the multitasking experience and makes AI-powered assistance more practical in everyday scenarios. Although this feature is still in development, it seems that WhatsApp is committed to further improving the dedicated screen with Meta AI, aiming to provide useful suggestions. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.10.9 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on feature to generate AI-powered topics for the Meta AI chatbot!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a feature that introduces AI-generated conversation topics for Meta AI, scheduled for release in a future update. This means that instead of starting a chat from scratch, users will be presented with interactive prompts tailored to current events, entertainment, and even unique conversation styles directly from this dedicated interface. These prompts will guide users toward more engaging conversations, as they are designed to provide suggestions that encourage interesting discussions.

One of the most significant aspects of this feature is the ability to receive quick conversation prompts during voice interactions with Meta AI. This includes humor-based prompts and persona-driven conversation styles that add a new layer of convenience to the user experience. Users will no longer need to come up with conversation starters, as Meta AI will suggest engaging topics. This includes asking questions like "What's my spirit animal?" or getting the AI to speak like a surfer dude. Additionally, users will be able to discover new things to learn through these AI-powered suggestions and ask Meta AI directly, such as "How does inflation affect the economy?" or "Why do we dream?". This makes it even easier to stay curious and entertained, all through voice interactions.

It's important to note that these suggested topics are automatically generated by Meta AI, and they are not based on individual user conversations. Since WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, Meta AI does not access private chats to personalize these prompts. Instead, the chatbot relies on publicly available information to generate relevant suggestions, ensuring that user privacy remains protected while still delivering engaging and timely conversation starters. Additionally, WhatsApp might explore a range of other categories to suggest, such as news prompts, although it's highly unlikely that news-related suggestions will be a part of the feature. However, the official category list will be confirmed once the feature is formally released in the future.

A feature to generate AI-powered topics for the Meta AI chatbot 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.
