WhatsApp's New AI Feature Summarises Chats. Here's How It Works
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise unread personal chats. The Meta-owned platform says the feature will help users when they are on the run or when too many chats may have piled up. By simply tapping the unread messages button in the chat, Meta AI will generate a bulleted summary of what a user may have missed. The feature is currently being rolled out in the US with plans to launch in more countries and languages later this year. "We're excited to introduce Message Summaries, a new option that uses Meta AI to privately and quickly summarise unread messages in a chat, so you can get an idea of what is happening, before reading the details in your unread messages," WhatsApp said in its official release. How does it work? Using Private Processing Technology, Meta AI is able to generate a response. Meta or WhatsApp do not see a user's messages or the private summaries. Since the message summary feature is optional, it is off by default. The user can choose whether or not to use them. Additionally, the Advanced Chat Privacy feature can be used to select which chats can be shared for AI features. Over the last year, Meta has introduced several AI-enabled features in WhatsApp, including directly using Meta AI to ask questions in a chat, along with a feature that produces images in real time. What is Private Processing Technology? The Private Processing Technology is a confidential computing infrastructure, built to make it possible for people to direct AI to process their requests, such as summarising unread WhatsApp threads or getting writing suggestions. As per Meta, Private Processing creates a "secure cloud environment where AI models can analyse and process data without exposing it to unauthorised parties". WhatsApp getting ads Earlier this month, WhatsApp announced that it was rolling out advertisements inside the Updates tab of the app. Akin to Instagram, where users see ads after a few stories, WhatsApp users will be served ads in a similar fashion. The company will be using user data such as country/city, language and the channels they are following to push the ads. Apart from placing ads in status stories, WhatsApp will also be earning through Channel subscriptions and Channel promotion. The company said these subscription payments will be facilitated by app stores.

US House Bans WhatsApp on Official Devices
Israa Farhan The US House of Representatives has officially banned the use of WhatsApp on all government-issued devices in a move aimed at strengthening cybersecurity and protecting sensitive data. The decision was communicated through an internal memo from the House Cybersecurity Office and applies to all lawmakers, staff, and House employees. According to the memo, the Meta-owned messaging app poses a significant security threat, as officials describe it, due to a lack of transparency in how user data is managed, insufficient encryption for stored data, and associated technical vulnerabilities. As an alternative, the House recommended using more secure communication platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Amazon-owned Wickr, Apple's iMessage and FaceTime, and the encrypted messaging app Signal. In a statement responding to the ban, a Meta spokesperson expressed disagreement, arguing that WhatsApp offers industry-leading security features that exceed those of several recommended alternatives. The company emphasized that privacy and security remain top priorities. The ban follows recent cybersecurity alerts, including a January report in which WhatsApp confirmed that dozens of journalists and activists had been targeted by advanced spyware. These revelations heightened concerns over the platform's vulnerability to surveillance and data breaches. This is not the first time the US House has acted against popular apps over security concerns. In 2022, the House banned TikTok from official devices amid similar fears about data privacy and foreign surveillance. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
