What Is This Meta AI Chatbot?
In September Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp made an announcement about their Meta AI chatbot.
During the announcement Mark Zuckerberg revealed that they are currently testing chatbots powered by AI for the American market.
Following this announcement Meta later released a version of the AI Chat feature on WhatsApp in September.
However some users initially had difficulty locating and using it as it was somewhat hidden within the contact list.
Fortunately with the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.24.26 update there is now a button on the home screen that provides quick access to the chatbot.
This improvement simplifies the process and enhances user experience.
