WhatsApp Just Got Smarter! Unlock The Power Of Meta AI

Are you using WhatsApp like it’s still 2015? Well, not anymore! Newsflash: This texting app got a smart upgrade, changing how you use WhatsApp forever. Meta AI has officially landed in your chats and has become your personal assistant. Wondering how? Let’s dive into it.

What is Meta AI?

Meta AI is an advanced chatbot developed by Meta (previously known as Facebook) that is directly built into your chat window. Unlike ChatGPT or Gemini, you don’t have to switch to another browser or download an app to access it. Equipped with capabilities such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) and computer vision, Meta leverages its open-source Llama 3 AI model to handle a wide range of tasks. All you have to do is type ‘@Meta AI’ and watch the magic unfold. From instantly answering all your burning questions, AI-generated memes and images, and restaurant and cafe recommendations to suggesting creative ideas, Meta AI can deliver all this and more.

How to get started with Meta AI?

If you are wondering how to enable Meta AI on WhatsApp, it’s a cakewalk. You are in for a treat as you explore this feature. Here’s how you can use Meta AI on WhatsApp:

• Install the latest version of WhatsApp on your device, or just update the app on your Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
• Open WhatsApp, go to settings and activate the Meta AI feature.
• Open any chat, mention @Meta AI to strike a conversation just as you do with a friend, and let it respond.

7 ways Meta AI makes your life easier

Want to make the most of this cool feature? Here are some tips and tricks you can try using Meta AI:

• Turn your imagination into reality: Bored of sending the same stickers or searching for the apt GIFs to send your friends? Meta AI is your canvas, and you are the artist. Be it a meme or a cool scene, just type in a detailed prompt and let the chatbot work its magic instantaneously. While Dall-E or MidJourney generate more creative images, Meta AI’s integration into WhatsApp makes creating and sharing AI-generated images easier.
• Search redefined: Google was the answer to all your questions. But if you are already on WhatsApp, you can simply tap on Meta’s ring logo, type in your question, and wait for it to generate answers. Meta AI is integrated with Microsoft Bing. So, you can get real-time information about the weather, current events, and just about anything under the sun.
• Correct grammar: Texting or sending corporate emails while on the go and making several typos? We’ve all been there. From official and long, courteous broadcast messages to small texts, you can run them through Meta AI directly on WhatsApp. While Grammarly’s suggestions are on point, you can’t integrate it on WhatsApp.
• Language translation: Meta AI is available on a slow rollout basis and supports English, Arabic, Hindi, French, Indonesian, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. If you are lost in translation while speaking to someone who doesn’t speak your language, you can use Meta AI’s translation capabilities instead of changing language settings on your phone.
• Get past writer’s block: Jokes, poems, essays, or a response to a tricky message -  based on your prompts in the chatbot, Meta AI can quickly help you craft a text suiting your needs.
• Settle debates: If you often have discussions in the group chat leading nowhere, you can always ask @Meta AI to give suggestions. Whether it is about a trip you and your friends have been planning for ages or a restaurant you’ve wanted to try, let the chatbot answer settle these debates.

Privacy concerns resolved

With cybersecurity on the rise, worrying about your data privacy is only natural. Meta AI is only an optional service that is offered on WhatsApp. It reads and responds to questions only when it is tagged in a chat mentioning @Meta AI. All your other chats, messages, and calls remain end-to-end encrypted. This means neither WhatsApp nor Meta are privy to it.

This is a cool feature indeed, but it is yet to be made available in all the countries and to everyone, even if other users in your area have access. While it is still in its early stages, you’ll be surprised at how much it can already do, that too at no additional cost. Meta AI offers endless opportunities, enhancing personalisation, business communication, and image generation with 3D rendering. So, if you want to stay ahead in this digital age, make the first move with Meta AI today.
