WhatsApp is working on a new chat recording feature powered by Meta AI
Earlier this year, Meta introduced Meta AI to WhatsApp, enhancing the user experience of the popular messaging app. The introduction of MetaAI as a personal assistant director and the availability of the app in Hindi have all contributed to making WhatsApp more user-friendly.
According to WABeta, WhatsApp is now developing a new feature known as chat memory. This feature is designed to record essential information provided to MetaAI, the personal assistant, in order to personalize interactions better. For example, if the chat assistant is aware that a user is vegan, it can offer relevant recipes.
Enhancing Personalization
The chat memory feature will enable Meta AI to automatically recall specific details shared with the chatbot in a future update. By retaining this information, users can expect more tailored and relevant responses based on their preferences. Meta AI will have the ability to remember various personal details such as dietary preferences, birthdays, preferred conversational tone, allergies, and interests.
This memory feature is aimed at significantly improving the personalization of Meta AI interactions. By leveraging stored information, Meta AI can provide recommendations, advice, and responses aligned with the user's lifestyle and preferences. For instance, when recommending food, Meta AI will consider user preferences and avoid suggesting disliked or allergenic dishes.
Control and Privacy
Users will have full control over the information stored by Meta AI, allowing them to update or delete specific details as desired. This level of customization ensures that users can manage their privacy and preferences effectively.
Similar features have been introduced by other companies in the past. Microsoft's Recall feature and Google's Pixel screenshots are examples of functionalities that aim to enhance user experience while respecting privacy. With Pixel screenshots, Google allows users to control which information is saved, striking a balance between personalization and privacy.
WhatsApp users can anticipate having the power to choose what information Meta AI retains, once the chat memory feature is officially launched. This approach empowers users to personalize their interactions while maintaining control over their data.
