Meta introduced AI to WhatsApp early this year, and the popular messaging service is constantly working to improve its user experience. It started with MetaAI as a personal assistant director in the application and made it available in Hindi. All the features have helped users utilize WhatsApp more easily.
Meta is also working on a new feature, chat memory. Meta added this function to improve WhatsApp Messenger's security and privacy. It also added the Chat lock option. The feature is designed to secure your contact information and allow you to have personal group discussions.
WhatsApp Chat Memory Feature
WhatsApp is exploring a new feature that allows Meta AI to remember specific details previously shared with the chatbot instantly. Chat memory features include:
- Provide users with more applicable customized responses based on Meta AI’s information about their preferences.
- It may track allergies and preferences, such as beloved novels and documentaries.
- Meta AI can deliver recommendations, guidance, and reactions that are more tailored to the user's lifestyle.
- Meta AI will avoid offering dishes the user has already specified they dislike or are allergic to.
