WhatsApp has launched a new feature called Writing Help, designed to help users write messages quickly by providing AI-generated text suggestions. The feature is intended for use in both direct messages and group chats and supports a variety of tones, including supportive, humorous, and professional.
Users can access Writing Help by tapping a newly introduced pencil icon while writing a message. After that, the tool presents a number of AI-generated versions of the message, allowing the user to select one of them or ignore all of them. The feature aims to provide options without altering the messaging process for those who prefer manual input.
Writing Help operates using Meta’s Private Processing technology. The company says that this system uses AI without letting Meta or WhatsApp see the original message or the suggestions it makes. WhatsApp asserts that it collaborated with members of the security community to test and validate the technology.
The feature is optional and disabled by default. Users who choose not to use Writing Help can continue using WhatsApp without changes to their messaging experience. The company emphasized that using the feature does not compromise user privacy.
Writing Help is initially launching in English, starting with users in the United States and select other countries. WhatsApp plans to expand the feature to additional languages and regions later in the year. It probably won’t arrive in Pakistan for very long.
