WhatsApp’s AI Message Summaries: Privacy Hero or Security Zero?
WhatsApp is rolling out Message Summaries, an AI feature that uses Meta AI to give you the gist of unread messages without peeking at your privacy. Think of it as your chat butler, serving you snippets while keeping your secrets safe. Available in the U.S., it’s a chat twist with a side of confidentiality!

Just what we needed—AI that can summarize the drama in our group chats without having to read through all the emoji-loaded, typo-filled banter. Thank you, Meta, for catering to our laziness in the most privacy-conscious way possible!
