WhatsApp is getting ready to add another smart and helpful feature in its upcoming updates. The latest beta version for Android, 2.25.19.8, is now available through the Google Play Beta Program. And the best part? WhatsApp is working on a new AI-powered Writing Help feature that will let users improve their messages privately with the help of Meta AI!
In this article, we will discuss WhatsApp’s New Secret Weapon that is not active just yet, but it’s already getting attention for what’s coming next.
What’s So Special About the New WhatsApp Beta Update?
The Writing Help feature is still under development, but it’s already making news. This tool will allow users to write better messages using private AI suggestions — all without leaving the app. It’s built on the same AI Private Processing system that WhatsApp used earlier for message summaries.
Let’s see what you’ll be able to do once this feature rolls out:
- You can enhance your messages using AI help inside WhatsApp.
- Your message will stay completely private thanks to encrypted and anonymous processing.
- No one, not even Meta or WhatsApp, will see what you’re writing or editing.
- You’ll get multiple improved versions of your original message.
- You can choose how your message sounds: professional, funny, or supportive.
Writing Made Easy with AI
Here’s the exciting part: after turning on Private Processing in your WhatsApp settings, a special AI button will appear next to your emoji keyboard. When you tap it, you can ask Meta AI to help with your writing.
It can fix grammar, rephrase things, or even add a new tone. Let’s say you want to sound more serious, you can select the Professional tone. Want to make your friend laugh? Use a Funny tone. Need to comfort someone? There’s a Supportive tone for that, too.
Each time you use the Writing Help feature, WhatsApp will give you around three suggestions. You can then pick the one that fits best, and if you like it, you can replace your original message with it — all without the other person knowing anything changed.
Everything Happens Privately
Here, the key is privacy. The AI recommendations are generated on your device through what is known as Private Processing. That implies what you write, as well as the AI responses, does not leave your phone. Meta and WhatsApp do not save, monitor, or view them.
And in case you choose to give an opinion on the usefulness of the suggestion, only your feedback will be transmitted. There would be no content of message in that process.
Total Control in Your Hands
If you don’t want to use Writing Help, you can simply ignore the AI button or turn it off in settings. WhatsApp will not change your messages unless you ask it to. And only the message you select will be improved — other chats or messages remain untouched.
This feature is still under development, but it’s expected to be rolled out in a future update. Until then, it’s something to look forward to if you love messaging smarter, faster, and more privately.
