WhatsApp may soon introduce Meta AI widget for your device home ...
WhatsApp gained widespread attention when it first introduced Meta AI for users across various locations. Recent reports now indicate that the Meta-owned platform is poised to unveil a new widget, allowing users to seamlessly access Meta AI directly from their Home Screen.
As per a WaBetaInfo report, this new feature was identified in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.27 update. The primary objective of this feature is to provide users with convenient access to MetaAI without the need to launch WhatsApp.
Optional Widget for AI-Powered Chats
Reports suggest that the widget will be optional and accessible to users who have access to the AI-powered chats, a feature currently available only in select regions and to specific users. Once launched, the widget will enable users to initiate a conversation with Meta AI directly from their Home Screen, bypassing the need to navigate through the WhatsApp interface.
The widget will also include a quick shortcut for users to capture and share photos with Meta AI, facilitating tasks such as photo edits or content analysis directly from the widget.
