WhatsApp has unveiled a new AI-powered feature, Quick Recap, aimed at improving user experience and saving time. This innovation is particularly beneficial for individuals juggling multiple tasks daily who prefer not to scroll through extensive conversations.
Quick Recap summarises unread messages, enabling users to swiftly catch up on chats without reading entire threads. If a chat has been unopened for a while and has accumulated numerous messages, the feature provides a comprehensive summary in seconds.
Leveraging Meta AI, users can select up to five chats, click on the three dots in the top right corner, and choose the ‘Quick Recap’ option for a message summary. The feature supports both personal and group chats.
WhatsApp assures users that this feature utilises Meta Private Processing technology, ensuring message data remains encrypted and unreadable by WhatsApp or Meta. However, chats protected with ‘Advanced Chat Privacy’ will not be included in this feature.
Currently, Quick Recap is in development, appearing in WhatsApp beta version Android 2.25.21.12, and will soon be available to beta users before a stable update rollout. Details for the iOS timeline remain undisclosed.
