Do you have unread messages? This WhatsApp feature summarizes your conversations and prevents them from piling up: steps

WhatsApp has launched a new tool, Message Summaries, which uses Meta AI technology to help users stay up to date with their conversations.

This feature highlights the most important points of unread messages in a chat , allowing you to access relevant information quickly, especially when you don't have time to review each message individually.

WhatsApp's new Message Summaries feature leverages Meta's artificial intelligence capabilities. The system analyzes unread messages within a chat, compiles them, and generates a summary of the key topics discussed.

This process is performed directly on the user's device, ensuring that the privacy of conversations is not compromised, as neither Meta nor WhatsApp access the content of the messages.

WhatsApp emphasized that the summaries generated by Meta AI are private. This means no one else in the chat will be able to see if a summary of unread messages has been generated.

Furthermore, the company claims that the tool is designed to maintain privacy, as message processing is done locally on the device, without intervention from the WhatsApp or Meta servers.

By default, the 'Message Summaries' option is disabled. To use it, users must access the chat's 'Advanced Privacy' settings and enable the option to share messages with AI features.

Once enabled, the 'Summarize privately' option will appear above unread messages, allowing Meta AI to automatically generate a summary of the conversation.

Currently, this feature is only available to WhatsApp users in the United States and in English, but Meta plans to expand it to other languages ​​and countries throughout 2025.
