WhatsApp’s AI Unveils New Feature: Message-to-Dad Joke Conversion

WhatsApp introduces AI feature for message rephrasing

WhatsApp has released a new feature that lets users use AI to rephrase messages or give them a different tone. The feature, called Writing Help, can alter the tone of a message to make it sound more professional, funny, or supportive. Users can access this feature by tapping on the icon to the right of the text while typing a message and then selecting the desired option from the menu that appears.

Privacy and Availability

Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, ensures that the AI feature operates using Private Processing technology, thereby safeguarding user privacy. This feature is currently available only in English and limited to the United States and a few other countries. WhatsApp plans to expand this feature to other languages and regions in the near future.

Potential Benefits and Use Cases

The AI rephrasing feature may be particularly valuable for users who are not fluent in English. While the potential for enhancing humor through AI rephrasing remains uncertain, users can experiment with different tones to suit their communication style. As WhatsApp continues to develop and refine this feature, users may discover new ways to leverage AI for messaging purposes.
