Meta AI Voice Mode Rolling Out in WhatsApp Beta
Imagine WhatsApp getting a talking AI friend!
Meta AI, already in WhatsApp, is getting a voice mode.
This means you can chat with it using your voice, like talking on a call.
You can ask it questions and get answers in a more natural way.
The new voice mode will have its own special look and feel, and it might suggest questions to ask.
You can start voice chats from the Chats or Calls sections, and even keep chatting while you do other things on your phone.
Right now, this feature is being tested out by some people using a special version of WhatsApp, but it's not yet available to everyone.
WhatsApp is testing a new voice mode for Meta AI, its AI-powered chatbot.
The voice mode will allow users to interact with Meta AI in real-time, similar to Gemini's Live Mode.
Users can initiate voice sessions from the Chats tab and Calls section within WhatsApp.
Meta AI's voice mode includes customization and personalization options with a dedicated interface.
The feature is currently available to select users on the latest WhatsApp beta version for Android.
