WhatsApp’s Microsoft Windows 11 app now has full-featured Meta AI and it’s not a web wrapper like Copilot

WhatsApp (steady) for Microsoft Windows 11 has turned on full-fledged “Meta AI” assist for more individuals in a latest server-side updates rolling out through the Microsoft Store. This means now you can use Meta AI’s options, similar to the flexibility to work together with LLAMA using texts and generate images.

Microsoft Windows Latest beforehand reported that WhatsApp’s May 2024 updates launched a latest navigation menu, which many individuals discovered undesirable. At that point, a number of sources advised us the menu was added to combine Meta AI. This month’s WhatsApp updates confirms our earlier report. After the updates, Meta AI seems within the latest navigation menu.

As proven within the above screenshot, a latest Meta AI button seems beneath the Chat, Calls and Status tabs. If you click on the AI button, it opens “Meta AI” as a chat in WhatsApp, just like how the button works in your Android cellphone. From there, you possibly can ask Meta something you need.

The above pop-up seems for the primary time if you click on the Meta AI button. It explains that Meta AI in WhatsApp for Microsoft Windows 11 can be utilized to “express yourself”, so you possibly can generate distinctive images to share with anybody. It may advocate data and assist you to study expertise and browse the net using Bing (and typically Google).

Third and most vital, WhatsApp says it received’t prepare the AI in your private messages despatched on Microsoft Windows 11. However, Meta might use your dialog with the AI to coach its fashions. AI interactions received’t be end-to-end encrypted, and also you’ll want to just accept these phrases earlier than using the AI.

I actually like how WhatsApp has built-in Meta AI into its Microsoft Windows app. It’s fully native and doesn’t use internet parts or Edge WebView.

Meta/Facebook makes use of WinUI and UWP, which is why the app feels clean and native on Microsoft Windows in comparison with internet apps constructed by Microsoft.

As you possibly can see within the above GIF demo, Meta AI works effectively, and it will possibly shortly generate images, however the images have a watermark if you attempt to view them in full-screen or save them regionally.

WhatsApp additionally exhibits a loading animation when the AI responds to your immediate.

However, it’s price noting that WhatsApp’s AI integration on Microsoft Windows 11 continues to be not on par with the Android model, which is quicker and allows you to work together with AI solutions using thumbs-down or thumbs-up reactions.

On the opposite hand, Microsoft’s Copilot app for Microsoft Windows 11 is an internet wrapper.

Copilot is now not a local app or deeply built-in into Microsoft Windows. A latest updates downgraded it into an Edge-based internet wrapper. The latest Copilot “app” principally opens copilot.microsoft.com.

Perhaps Microsoft can study just a few issues from Meta.
