AI-POWERED CHATS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.24.26 update, we announced that WhatsApp was releasing a new shortcut to quickly open AI-powered chats. This improvement further underscores WhatsApp's commitment to highlighting and seamlessly integrating AI-assisted interactions into the daily use of the messaging app. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.71 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out the same shortcut to some beta testers on the iOS app!
As shown in this attached screenshot, there is a new button within the navigation bar in the Chats tab and it allows users to quickly open the AI-powered chat. As mentioned in the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android update, AI-powered chats are still exclusively available to a specific user group, and the timeline for a broader release remains unknown. However, it's important to note that there are ongoing plans to extend this feature to a wider audience in the future. It's also worth noting that some users who install the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store may be able to experiment with this shortcut.
With the introduction of a dedicated shortcut, users can now directly access AI-powered chats from the Chats Tab without navigating through the chat list to find the previous interaction with the AI. This approach significantly reduces the time and effort required to initiate these specialized conversations. In addition, placing the shortcut prominently in the Chats tab ensures users are well-informed about this feature, encouraging the integration of AI-assisted interactions into their regular use of the messaging app.
A feature that adds a shortcut to open AI-powered chats from the Chats tab is available to some beta testers who install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming weeks.
