Currently, you can access Meta AI in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android in two ways. First, by tapping the Meta AI button on the Chats tab, which will open the conversation with the chatbot. Second, by searching for Meta AI in contacts and then tapping on the contact to open the conversation with the chatbot. Once the chat opens, you can ask your queries to Meta AI and the chatbot will answer them, Well, Meta is now making it even easier to access Meta AI in WhatsApp.
According to WABetaInfo, the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (version 2.23.25.15) allows you to interact with Meta AI using the search bar. To be more specific, you can now enter your query for the chatbot in the search bar and the app will show you an option to search that query using Meta AI. However, there’s no info on what happens once you click on that option. We are assuming that the app will open the chat with Meta AI and show you the answer to that query.
With WhatsApp allowing people to access Meta AI more easily, more and more users will start using it, and eventually, get habituated to the chatbot and rely more on it. That will increase the usage of Meta AI, taking it one step closer to becoming a major feature of WhatsApp and a hit. At the moment, there’s no information about when WhatsApp will make the new UI available to the public. However, we expect the company to roll it out to the public in the next few months.
