WhatsApp for Android is reportedlytesting a new feature for its newly added artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Meta AI, that will allow users to send voice messages. As of now, users can only send text messages to the chatbot and get response. However, very soon, Meta AI is also likely to be able to respond to messages, although in text format.

WhatsApp Reportedly Testing Meta AI Voice Messages Feature
WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo has reported that the new voice messages feature for Meta AI has recently been spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.16.10. Those who have enrolled in the Google Play Beta programme, can now tap on the Meta AI button to access the chat interface and see a new voice message icon similar to the one seen placed next to the text bottom at the bottom. As per the report, beta testers can now send voice messages to Meta AI by tapping on the respective icon.
The AI will then be able to process the audio and understand the audio. Following the command, it will then generate the response in text.
The new feature can be proved very useful in situations where the user don't want to type a long question to get response from Meta AI, especially the ones who are always on the go.
Not only this, but WhatsApp for Android is also reported to test a feature that will let users quickly react to messages by double-tapping them. The feature is likely to add a heart emoji by default, when double-tapped by a user similar to the one we see on Instagram and Facebook. Currently, the feature is in beta and there is no date for its public release revealed as of now.
