WhatsApp is launching Writing Help, a new AI feature that, as the name implies, will help you compose your messages. This powerful tool can suggest text for you in various styles—whether you need to sound professional, funny, or supportive—right within your chat window.
How It Works: AI at Your Fingertips
Sometimes you know what you want to say but need a little help with how to say it. That’s where Writing Help comes in. It’s the latest AI feature from Meta designed to make your communication faster and more effective, which is a huge benefit for the millions of people in Nigeria who use WhatsApp for both personal and business communication, especially if their phone is slowing down.
How to Use Writing Help
Is It Really Private?
In a world of data privacy concerns, Meta is emphasizing that this feature is built on its Private Processing technology. The company promises that this allows you to “leverage Meta AI to generate a response without Meta or WhatsApp ever reading your message or the suggested re-writes.” This adds to its recent push for user control, like the ability to prevent others from automatically saving media.
Availability
Writing Help is rolling out now in English, starting in the US and “several other countries.” WhatsApp has confirmed that it will arrive in other languages and countries, including Nigeria, “later this year.” This new tool is a clear sign of how AI is being integrated into our most-used apps, aiming to make daily communication smarter and more efficient for everyone. For more details, you can read the official announcement on the WhatsApp Blog.
