WhatsApp plans to add even MORE AI tools despite 'annoying' AI button

66% Informative

WhatsApp introduced its Meta AI button in March , which appears as a purple-blue ring icon on the right-hand side of the chats page.

Users have claimed that the 'annoying' button gets in the way often accidentally being pressed when they're instead trying to tap on a chat.

But WhatsApp users can't get rid of the button but the company has told users that it's optional and they don't have to use it.

Social media consultant Rhea Freeman said she will use the tool because she doesn't think it will give Meta any additional insights into our private lives.

The New York Times described it as 'fun to use' but said it 'can't be trusted' in the US .
