WhatsApp is soon set to introduce a new 'Message Summaries' feature for its users. Under this feature, users will be able to generate summaries for multiple unread chats simultaneously with just a single click. Read on for the full details.
WhatsApp is India's most popular instant messaging app. To continuously enhance its platform and provide a better experience for its users, WhatsApp frequently works on developing and rolling out new features. According to the latest reports, a feature named 'Summaries' is soon expected to arrive on WhatsApp; this feature will be quite distinct from the AI-powered summaries feature launched last year. While the previous AI-powered summaries feature allowed users to grasp the key points of long WhatsApp messages without having to read them in their entirety, the upcoming 'Summaries' feature will help users identify the key points of *unread* chats without actually opening and reading them. Let's dive into all the details.

Citing the WhatsApp beta for Android update version 2.26.12.10, a recent report by WABetaInfo reveals that the new 'Summaries' feature could soon debut on the platform. This feature will provide users with summaries not just for a single chat, but for multiple unread chats at once. Consequently, users will no longer need to open and read each chat individually.
The report also includes a screenshot of this upcoming feature. The screenshot shows that users will find the new 'Summary' feature located within the 'Unread' section. This feature is designed to generate a summary of all unread chats for users with just one click. To utilize this, users simply need to tap on the 'Get a Summary' toggle.
Your Messages Will Remain Completely Private!
According to the report, the 'Message Summaries' feature will be entirely private. The company plans to implement this using 'Private Processing'—a secure technology developed by Meta. This AI-powered WhatsApp feature processes message data privately, ensuring that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can access the content of the messages. The 'Private Processing' mechanism has also undergone an independent audit by the NCC Group. Please note that this feature is currently in the development stage. It may take some time before it is rolled out to all users.
