WhatsApp Introduces New Meta AI Shortcut for Chats
Currently, the feature is available to select beta testers who have installed the latest iOS update via TestFlight, with plans for a broader rollout in the upcoming weeks.
Meta’s popular messaging app, WhatsApp, has rolled out a new shortcut that lets users quickly start a conversation with Meta AI directly from the chats tab, enhancing the feature’s accessibility and visibility.
As reported by WABetaInfo, the update, available in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS (version 24.25.10.79), replaces the previous shortcut at the top of the navigation bar.
This change brings the AI feature into a more prominent position, making it easier to access, especially on larger devices where reaching the top of the screen can be cumbersome.
The redesigned shortcut aims to increase engagement with WhatsApp’s AI-powered tools, such as personalized image generation, by providing users with quick access to these features.
While this update enhances user experience, especially on Android devices where it mimics the floating action button, the new shortcut’s placement may be a temporary test, subject to further refinement based on user feedback.
