You Can Now Talk to Meta AI

Looks like Meta has decided to transform WhatsApp by the end of 2024. Along with these filters and backgrounds, you'll now also be able to talk to Meta AI.

Meta AI has already been introduced on WhatsApp. But right now, you can only chat with it. However, with this new update, you'll be able to talk to it in real time through voice chat.

Plus, you can also send photos and ask questions about it. For instance, you can send it a picture of a plant and ask how to take care of it or you can send it a picture of a dessert and ask how to make it. The options are endless.

In addition to that, you can also send pictures and ask it to edit it. It's not a replacement for professional editing but it can remove an unwanted stranger from your picture or change the color of any object.

It's also planning to expand its business AI tool (for those using Whatsapp Business) so that users can get faster responses.
