WhatsApp is developing AI-powered writing tools that will help users polish their messages with different tones and styles. This expansion into AI-assisted communication represents a significant evolution for the messaging platform, potentially changing how users craft their everyday conversations by offering creative options beyond simple text editing.
The big picture: WhatsApp is adding AI writing capabilities that will allow users to modify messages using seven different tonal filters.
- According to code discovered by Android Authority in WhatsApp version 2.25.85, these filters include Shorter, Funny, Puns, Spooky, Rephrase, Supportive, and Sarcastic options.
- The feature aims to enhance messaging by helping users not only proofread but completely rewrite their messages based on their preferred style.
How it works: Users will access these writing tools through a new pencil button positioned above the send button in the chat interface.
- Tapping this pencil button will open a text editor containing the various AI-powered text editing options.
- The interface appears designed to make these writing tools easily accessible within the normal messaging workflow.
Where things stand: The AI writing feature remains in development with no confirmed launch date for the general public.
- The code was found in a beta version, suggesting WhatsApp’s beta users may get early access in an upcoming update.
- Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, hasn’t provided an official timeline for when these features will reach the broader user base.
