In a post on social network X, WhatsApp said that this new Writing Help feature uses Meta's private processing technology.
This means that users can receive AI-generated recommendations without Meta or WhatsApp reviewing original messages or re-written messages. Therefore, privacy is still protected, even when using this tool.
To try it, users just need to tap the new pencil icon in the app when creating messages in an individual or group conversation.
The Writing Help tool has been waiting for a while to be officially released. This new tool is expected to make it easier for users to draft messages, from basic grammatical errors to rephrasing sentences in the desired style.
With this update, Facebook users will not need to rely on third-party apps like ChatGPT or Gemini to refine their messages.
The feature is now being rolled out in English in the US and some other countries. Facebook plans to expand the feature to more languages and regions later this year.
Meta also emphasized that tools like Writing Assistant and across-the- Saying across across-Senders are optional and turned off by default, allowing users to fully control their Facebook experience.
The message summary feature was introduced to users in the US at the end of June 2025. powered by MetaAI, this feature provides a quick summary of un read messages in private conversations, helping users keep up faster without having to read all the messages.
To maintain privacy, no one else in the conversation is notified when this feature is in use. The latest update comes just days after Google deployed new tools for group calls, allowing users to schedule calls in advance and send invitations ahead of schedule.
The update also introduces new reactions to calls, including the "show up" option, making group conversations more interactive and engaging.
