New WhatsApp features which will allow users to talk to Meta’s AI in real time have been revealed. Dubbed the “Meta Connect”, Meta revealed that they will be bringing a new set of updates to WhatsApp that will allow users to talk to Meta AI in real-time with your voice or send Meta photos to edit.

Meta said these updates will make it easier for users to improve their chats and try new things.

Here is a look at the three new features:

Talk to Meta AI

This feature will allow users to speak to Meta AI and it will respond to them.

Users can press down on the waveform button to ask a question and then let Meta AI explain away. As this feature starts to roll out, users will also be able to choose from different voice options including from celebrities from around the world.

Search using photos

Users can now send a photo to Meta AI and get answers about the photo. This is similar to the Google Lens search feature.

For example, users can take a picture of a menu in a foreign language and ask for a translation, or take a picture of a plant and ask how to take care of it.

Editing photos

Meta AI will allow users to edit their own photo like adding, removing, or changing something.

For example, users can remove a random stranger from the background or change colours on an object to see something in a new light.

Meta said that they will be expanding their business AIs, allowing for faster service when talking to a business. The company said that they are looking to expand these services over the coming year.
