WhatsApp introduces the Writing Help Assistant in its latest iOS beta, a feature designed to improve message drafts while maintaining user privacy with Meta’s “Private Processing” technology. This AI-powered tool suggests alternative phrasings in various tones like Rephrase, Professional, Funny, Supportive, and Proofread. It keeps the editing process private and anonymous.
The Writing Help Assistant triggers when users type a short phrase in the chat, offering at least three refined message suggestions. Users can select from the suggested versions or keep their original text. The tool respects user privacy as all modifications happen locally without storing text or usage data. This feature is initially available to a few selected iOS beta testers, with an Android version previously noted.
Additionally, WhatsApp is testing other AI-powered features, indicating ongoing enhancements in AI-assisted communication. Overall, WhatsApp’s Writing Help Assistant enhances message quality without compromising confidentiality, aiming to collaboratively improve user experience.
