Meta AI, a free assistant from Meta, is now more widely available on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Meta is developing new ways to use Meta AI, especially in WhatsApp.
New WhatsApp Feature: Voice Messages to Meta AI
The latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.16.10) includes a feature that lets you send voice messages to Meta AI. Currently, only a few beta testers can use this feature, but more users will get access soon.
A new button for voice messages has been added to the chat interface, making it easy for beta testers to communicate with Meta AI using voice commands instead of just text.
Adding voice interaction is smart because speaking is faster than typing. This feature is already available in other AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, making communication quicker and more efficient.
Meta recently expanded the languages supported by Meta AI, but it is unclear if all of these languages will support voice communication.
Tech companies like Meta are constantly adding new AI features. However, growing concerns exist about how they train their AI models and handle user data. Regulators from the US, EU, and UK are now setting new rules to ensure fair competition and protect consumers.
