And with that, room for misinterpretation.
Would be a good feature if it works and is private.
I’m in multiple group chats and often open WhatsApp to see 800 unread messages in a single chat. I don’t want to read through all of that, but I do want to know a high level overview, so I can see if it’s something I actually want to scroll back to and have a proper read.
However, I’ve seen multiple AI summaries missing out important stuff, so that’s almost certainly going to be an issue here too.
I also want it to be completely private. They say it is, but who knows? The fact it’s not on-device is a bit of a red flag to me.
LOL
Hey Meta AI, can you summarize that for me?
Seems like a Trojan horse to get users to grant access to their encrypted chats?

Yep. They claim to have secure private processing or whatever by I don’t trust that one bit.
I’m interested in how they’ve allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.
Don’t get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I’m at least interested in how that is supposed to work.
It could run entirely on-device.
Hahahahaha. It doesn’t.
In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.
They’ve always harvested your data but they haven’t done the actual contents of the message
Meta can fuck off. The moment this shit appears I’m going 100% Signal.
Why wait? Why not switch now?
Why not do it now?
I’m already on Signal but nobody else is.
Everyone has whatsapp and not signal is pretty much the gist of it
My family uses it, work uses it, Microsoft 2FA uses it. It’s a hassle to try to change what other people use.
A few years ago, I switched from WhatsApp to Signal. I told all my important contacts and groups that I’d delete WhatsApp at the end of the month and that they can either reach me on signal or using SMS from there on. This was enough time to answer peoples questions and convince many people to install Signal too. My family now uses it, most of my friends do, and while all of them kept WhatsApp back then, they now use Signal to message each other. So it is possible to make the switch and take lots of people with you.
Can’t you switch MS 2FA to use text or their authenticator?
I blocked Microsoft in WhatsApp and they reverted back to sending SMS messages. However, this won’t help if you (like me) I refuse to install Microsoft apps on your phone.
it’s surprising this feature is opt-in. either way, fuck meta.
Did anyone ask for this, it’s a messaging app

This sounds like it might be useful for some people who get lots of messages, like businesses at least, but I just don’t trust Meta.
Yes!!! Keep enshittifying! Yes! nods menacingly
