At Meta Connect 2024, Mark Zuckerberg announced that WhatsApp users can now interact with Meta, AI chatbot, in more engaging way. Users can engage in real-time conversations by speaking to Meta AI, which offers contextual responses and helps answer questions. Meta AI can also analyse and provide insights on shared photos, translating or enhancing images as needed.

As per Meta, “With these updates, you'll be able to talk to Meta AI in real-time using your own voice and send photos and have it edit them. These updates will make it even easier for people to explore their ideas, chat better, and try new things.” The voice feature will be available across Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram DM. Users can ask questions, get explanations, or even hear a joke to lighten the mood.
