WhatsApp is enhancing user experience by testing a new widget aimed at providing quick access to Meta AI. This comes as part of the company's ongoing efforts to integrate advanced AI features into their messaging platform.
According to reports from WABetaInfo, a new home screen widget was spotted in beta version 2.25.6.14 of WhatsApp for Android. The widget is designed with three distinct shortcuts: one for initiating a chat with Meta AI, another for swiftly sharing photos with the AI, and a third to facilitate voice-based interactions. Users will appreciate the flexibility as the size of the widget can be customized to fit their home screens perfectly.
Currently, this widget is exclusively available for beta testers using the latest version of WhatsApp on Android devices. However, it's important to note that Meta AI's reach is not universal; users in regions where this feature has not yet launched will not have access to the widget, even if they are beta testers.
