WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will include a welcome screen for a new tab dedicated to AI-powered chatbots. According to WABetaInfo, the welcome screen will explain the new functionality, how it works, and how users may access and use the AI chatbots.
WhatsApp is working on a new welcome screen that will help users explore its AI chat feature. This screen will include a big button to start interacting with chatbots created by Meta and third-party developers. The final design of the welcome screen is still being worked on, and the feature will first launch in regions where Meta’s AI services are already available. Users will also be able to customize chatbots by describing their roles, qualities, and characteristics. Meta plans to expand this feature to more countries, but they need to meet legal and regulatory requirements, especially in Europe.
Recently, WhatsApp has introduced several new features to improve the user experience. For example, a new option allows users to quickly search for updates within channels. WhatsApp is also planning to let users create events in private chats, just like they can in group chats. These updates aim to make WhatsApp more engaging and useful for its users.
