Instead of the traditional chat interface, where users have to manually tap a button to initiate voice interactions, the new feature is said to be rolled out for the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp to eliminate these unnecessary steps. Some beta testers can reportedly explore the new feature that provides access to a dedicated Meta AI interface in WhatsApp.

The new screen is primarily focused on voice interactions. As soon as users open the new interface, Meta AI will automatically initiate a voice session. The voice session within the dedicated Meta AI interface is said to remain active till a user stays within this screen. If the user switches to another application or exits the interface, the voice session will automatically end. WhatsApp New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Platform May Soon Allow Android Users To Add Social Media Links on Account.

As per reports, users will have control over their voice interactions with Meta AI. If they wish privacy, they can mute the microphone from the dedicated interface, which will allow them to stop Meta AI from listening. If a user begins to type in the input field, Meta AI will recognise the action and will automatically stop listening. The shift will switch the current screen to the standard chat interface with Meta AI.
