Chat with AI on WhatsApp: iPhone Shortcut Now Available!

WhatsApp, the popular meta-owned instant messaging app, has launched a feature that includes a shortcut to access AI-powered conversations directly from the Chats tab. There is a new button in the navigation bar of the Conversations tab that allows users to quickly open an AI-powered chat.

“With TestFlight’s latest WhatsApp beta iOS 23.24.10.71 update, some beta testers of the iOS app are now getting a shortcut,” WABetaInfo reported.

Thanks to its own shortcut, users can now access chats with AI directly from the Chats tab without having to scroll through the chat list to find a previous interaction with the AI.

According to the report, this approach significantly reduces the time and effort required to initiate these specific conversations. Additionally, placing the shortcut prominently in the Chats tab ensures that users are well aware of this feature, encouraging the integration of AI-assisted interactions into their regular use of the messaging app.

The report revealed that AI-powered chats are still only available to a select group of users, and the timeline for a wider rollout remains unknown. However, there are plans to expand this feature to a wider audience in the future.

It is also worth noting that some users who install the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store may try this shortcut.

A new feature that provides a shortcut to open AI-powered chats from the Chats tab is now available to some beta testers. Users can access this feature by installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it will gradually roll out to more users in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also developing a new feature that will allow channel owners to request a review of their frozen channels, and this feature will be available in the future.
