Just use chatgpt or perplexity: Meta has just launched an update on WhatsApp to put his artificial intelligence Meta Ai In the foreground, at least where it is available.
The novelty, relaunched by the site Wabetainfoappeared in the form of Two new widgets In the last beta of the app for Android version 2.25.6.14 (although the first signs had seen in the 2.25.1.27 version issued in January 2025).
As can be seen from the images below, both widget allow you to access directly to Meta Ai with the possibility of:
- Open the chat with the IA of the Zuckerberg company, directly from the initial screen, touching the icon in the shape of a circle or ask meta ai
- Share A photo with destination to which can then analyze the image, include the context or modify it on request. In this case you have to touch the camera -shaped icon
- Start a vocal session With a destination by touching the icon in the shape of a stylized sound wave
The idea is therefore to push users to use the company’s IA instead of chatting with a competing service such as chatgpt, but not everyone will be happy.
First of all, we remember that Meta Ai is not yet available in Italy, so this novelty does not concern us still directlybut in Villages Where it is available (English, Arabic, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese are supported (Many have complained of the chatbot’s invadation. So let’s imagine that the current novelty is not welcomed with enthusiasm.
However, there is a way to avoid it. Going to the Settings of the WhatsApp app and selecting Chat, In fact, it is enough to deactivate the switch next to the item Meta Ai. Some fear that this option will not be available forever, while others hope that if all users deactivate it destination to give up and not take it to the stable version of WhatsApp.
