What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on a welcome screen feature for the dedicated tab focused on AI-powered chatbots, and it will be available in a future update!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.24 update, we announced that a dedicated tab for AI-powered chats was under development. This tab will focus on displaying a variety of AI tools and services, allowing users to explore and interact with AI options designed for productivity, creativity, and entertainment. It will replace the Communities tab in the bottom navigation bar, aligning with the focus on integrating advanced AI-driven functionalities into the platform. It seems that WhatsApp is refining the AI-powered chatbots tab to make it easier for users to understand its content, aiming to provide a more engaging experience for discovering and interacting with AI-powered features. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.2 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a welcome screen feature for the dedicated tab focused on AI-powered chatbots!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a welcome screen for the new AI-powered chatbots tab, scheduled for release in a future update. This welcome screen will contain introductory text that explains the purpose and functionality of the new tab. Users will be greeted with an explanation of how to access and explore various AI chatbots available on the platform. Additionally, a prominent button will be included, allowing users to start exploring the chatbots provided by Meta as well as those developed by third-party creators after reviewing the welcome screen.

Since the feature is still under development, the exact content of the welcome screen is not yet finalized. However, WhatsApp plans to refine it in the coming updates, ensuring the interface is user-friendly and informative by the time the tab is officially launched. Once fully developed and ready for release, this screen will likely act as an important entry point for users to discover the potential of AI-powered chats on WhatsApp.

The tab will feature a list of diverse chatbots, each designed with unique personalities and functionalities, catering to a variety of interests and needs. To make the experience even more engaging, WhatsApp is reportedly working on an option that would allow users to create their own custom AI chatbots directly within the app. This could open new possibilities for personalization and innovation, empowering users to tailor chatbots to their specific preferences or tasks.

It is important to note that the AI-powered chats tab will initially be available only in regions where Meta AI is already accessible. However, Meta is actively working on expanding the availability of its AI services to additional countries. This expansion process involves navigating regulatory adjustments, especially in regions like Europe, where strict compliance with data protection laws and AI regulations is required.

A welcome screen feature for the dedicated tab focused on AI-powered chatbots 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.
