Mumbai, April 14: Meta was recently reported to have tested Meta AI Chatbot across WhatsApp and Instagram in India. With every significant tech company pushing their respective AI chatbots and tools, the Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta was seen pushing Generative AI to race against tech giants like Microsoft, Google and OpenAI. Meta AI chatbot was tested with select users across India in a suite of products, said reports. Now, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature inviting new contacts.

WhatsApp's beta channel announced that the new WhatsApp feature will be rolled out soon for all users.

WhatsApp's new 'invite new contacts' feature will likely encourage users to invite more people to join the platform. Despite having billions of users across the globe, there are some countries and regions where fewer fewer people use WhatsApp, and this feature aims to help Meta gain more people on the app. By offering similar features, the Meta-owned WhatsApp wishes to expand its user base and maintain its top position as a "leading instant messaging platform" worldwide. X Traffic Update: Elon Musk’s Microblogging Platform Records '9 Billion' Visits in March 2024.
