WhatsApp has got the Meta AI chatbot working to help you create images and write recipes but more is coming.

WhatsApp will let you talk to the Meta AI chatbot in the next few weeks after a new update brings the feature. However, the messaging app is not willing to stop there, and wants to make the chatbot into your personal assistant.

That’s right, WhatsApp is testing a new feature called chat memory so that the AI chatbot can remember your queries and conversations and tailor its responses based on your preferences.

Chat Memory For AI: Right Idea?

The details about the chat history feature for Meta AI come via WaBetaInfo this week, but the tipster can only offer limited information about its purpose and use case for now. AI chatbots could definitely use a personal touch, especially when you are being offered on a popular platform like WhatsApp.

However, the grey area around AI will undoubtedly bring critics into the fore, forcing them to question the intentions and channel on which these chats are being read by the AI system.

The tipster claims WhatsApp will give users the full control over what the Meta AI chatbot can remember and even give them the power to delete any particular part of the chat which they feel could invade their privacy.

We’ve already seen AI tools facing the flak and when you have brands like Microsoft making the headlines for the wrong reasons, one has to wonder how Meta will operate, knowing its history with user data.

For the time being, we can only speculate how this chat memory feature will work for WhatsApp users. But on the other hand, WhatsApp will soon have the ability to add contacts directly and also manage contacts across other linked devices with the same account.
