WhatsApp for Android Reportedly Testing Voice Messages Feature for Meta AI

WhatsApp for Android is reportedly testing a new feature for its recently added artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Meta AI. As per the claims of a feature tracker, this feature will allow users to send voice messages to the chatbot. Meta AI is said to also be able to respond to messages, although in text format. The feature is reportedly rolling out to a small group of beta testers who will be able to use it. WhatsApp may expand it to a larger user group in the coming weeks.

This icon is similar to the one seen on other chats and groups and is placed next to the text field at the bottom. As per the feature tracker, it will allow users to send voice messages to Meta AI. The AI will be able to process the audio and understand the query. It will then generate the response in text. Gadgets 360 staff members were unable to verify its availability on WhatsApp for the Android beta app.

The feature can be useful in situations where the user cannot type a long question but still requires the information. Especially those users who are always on the go might find the speculated feature convenient. Interestingly, while Meta AI was always multimodal and could generate images, audio generation or processing has not been added to it so far. This update might change it finally.

Separately, WhatsApp for Android is reportedly testing a way to quickly react to messages by double-tapping them. The feature is said to add a heart emoji by default, once a message has been double-tapped by a user. Notably,
