WhatsApp rolls out new shortcut to open AI-powered chats; Here’s everything you need to know

WhatsApp, a famous Meta-owned instant messaging app, has added a feature that allows users to access AI-powered chats directly from the Chats tab. There is a new button in the Chats tab’s navigation bar that allows users to easily open the AI-powered chat.

“With the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.71 update on the TestFlight app, some beta testers on the iOS app are now receiving the shortcut,” WABetaInfo reported.

Users can now easily access AI-powered chats from the Chats Tab without having to navigate through the chat list to find the prior interaction with the AI, due to the introduction of a dedicated shortcut.

According to the report, this approach significantly decreases the time and effort required to begin these specialized conversations. Furthermore, placing the shortcut prominently on the Chats tab ensures that users are aware of this feature, encouraging them to include AI-assisted interactions in their daily use of the messaging app.

The report stated that AI-powered chats are still only available to a select number of groups and the timeline for a broader release remains unknown. However, there are ongoing plans to expand the reach of this feature in the future.

Some beta testers now have access to a new feature that allows them to open AI-powered chats directly from the Chats tab. Users can access this feature by installing the current WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it will be gradually rolled out to more people in the following weeks.
