Quick Recap: WhatsApp Is Making It Easier To Catch Up On Missed Texts
Last Updated: WhatsApp's Quick Recap feature will summarise unread messages, helping users catch up on long chats quickly without scrolling through entire threads WhatsApp has unveiled a new AI-powered feature, Quick Recap, aimed at improving user experience and saving time. This innovation is particularly beneficial for individuals juggling multiple tasks daily who prefer not to scroll through extensive conversations. Quick Recap summarises unread messages, enabling users to swiftly catch up on chats without reading entire threads. If a chat has been unopened for a while and has accumulated numerous messages, the feature provides a comprehensive summary in seconds. Leveraging Meta AI, users can select up to five chats, click on the three dots in the top right corner, and choose the 'Quick Recap' option for a message summary. The feature supports both personal and group chats. WhatsApp assures users that this feature utilises Meta Private Processing technology, ensuring message data remains encrypted and unreadable by WhatsApp or Meta. However, chats protected with 'Advanced Chat Privacy' will not be included in this feature. Currently, Quick Recap is in development, appearing in WhatsApp beta version Android 2.25.21.12, and will soon be available to beta users before a stable update rollout. Details for the iOS timeline remain undisclosed. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

WhatsApp could soon add an AI feature to summarise your unread chats: Here's how it works
WhatsApp is bringing yet another AI-powered feature to enhance the flow of conversations and save users time. The personal messaging app will leverage Meta AI's capabilities to allow users to get a gist of their unread messages without compromising the privacy of their conversations. 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.
