WhatsApp could soon add an AI feature to summarise your unread chats: Here's how it works
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is looking to implement a new feature that will allow users to generate a summary of specific conversations. Unlike the existing message summaries feature, the new Quick Recap option will provide a more detailed summary of unread messages in selected chats.
Quick Recap will save users from scrolling through long threads by presenting a concise overview of what has been discussed, using Meta AI's capabilities.
While the Message Summaries feature worked with only one chat at a time, users will be able to summarise up to five conversations simultaneously with Quick Recap. To use it, users can select the chats they wish to summarise, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, and click on 'Quick Recap'.
Similar to Message Summaries, WhatsApp will take advantage of Meta Private Processing technology, ensuring that raw data never leaves the secure enclave in a readable form. It will use encryption and isolated computation to ensure that neither WhatsApp nor Meta has access to the original text or the generated recap.
This method allows WhatsApp to utilise in-house AI while prioritising user privacy and maintaining the sanctity of conversations.
Quick Recap will reportedly support summarising both individual and group chats. However, chats protected under 'Advanced Chat Privacy' will not be included in Quick Recap, respecting users who have chosen to exclude AI-powered features from specific conversations.
WABetaInfo spotted the Quick Recap feature in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.21.12. However, even beta testers would not have access to this feature for now given that it is still in development. The feature should slowly get rolled out to beta users with the upcoming updates, followed by a stable release for Android. Currently we don't have any clarity on when/if the new feature will come to the WhatsApp iOS app.

Names Of 44 People In Meta's Superintelligence Team Revealed, Only 2 Indians Make The Cut
Meta is aggressively poaching top AI talent, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, to build its Superintelligence Team. The team is part of Meta's ambitious plan to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) and superintelligence. Meta's recruitment strategy involves offering substantial compensation packages, sometimes exceeding $150 million, to attract top talent from competitors like Apple, Google, and OpenAI. Recently, a social media user shared a list of 44 employees allegedly working on Meta's AI project, claiming the list was obtained from an anonymous employee. According to the post, these employees are likely earning between $10 million and $100 million per year. Out of 44, only two Indian-origin researchers, Trapit Bansal and Hammad Syed, have been included in Meta's AI team. Notably, half of the hires are reportedly from China, with around 75% holding PhDs and 70% being researchers. The list also suggests that Meta's recruitment efforts have been successful in poaching talent from top companies, with 40% of the hires coming from OpenAI, 20% from Google's DeepMind, and 15% from Scale.

Reels Scrolling On Their Own? It's Not a Glitch; Instagram Is Testing New Auto-Scroll Feature
Instagram New Feature: Instagram, the Meta-owned platform, is testing a new feature that enables reels to play automatically one after another—no swiping needed. This feature is known as the Auto-Scroll feature. It ensures that once a reel ends, the next one starts playing instantly. If you wish to rewatch a reel, you can scroll back up, but it will continue auto-playing the next reel afterward. By default, this feature is turned off. To enable it, tap the three-dot menu below the share icon and toggle on Auto-Scroll. Moreover, Instagram has already introduced a new feature called Blend, designed to offer a more personalized and shared Reels experience. According to the company, Blend creates a unique feed of Instagram Reels, curated based on content recommendations tailored to both users involved. Instagram's turning into TikTok one scroll at a time Auto-scroll is here for some users, posts now swipe themselves. Got it yet or still waiting? — Shohag Hossain (@Iammdshohag) July 18, 2025 The feature is located within the chat section of the app. To start a Blend, one person must send an invite, which the other must accept—meaning it requires mutual consent from both accounts before the shared feed is created. How To Activate Blend Feature On Android and iOS Step 1: Open Instagram and navigate to a chat — this can be either a one-on-one conversation or a group chat. Step 2: In the chat window, tap the Blend icon located in the top right corner. Step 3: A preview screen will appear, showing what the Blend feature includes. Tap Invite to send the invitation. Step 4: The other person (or group members) must accept the invite. Once accepted, the Blend will be created and a shared Reels feed will be generated based on both users' interests.
