WhatsApp is introducing a new shortcut that allows users to launch a discussion with Meta AI directly from the conversations page, increasing its visibility and accessibility.
The new shortcut, which was formerly at the top of the navigation bar, is now in the Chats tab after being revealed by the Meta-owned instant messaging program in the most recent WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.25.10.79 update, according to WABetaInfo.
By doing this, WhatsApp hopes to increase its visibility and accessibility, especially on smartphones with larger screens where it could be difficult to reach the top of the screen.
With the new shortcut, the app also hopes to inspire more users to experiment with AI-powered features.
Users can now play with more imaginative features, such creating custom photos or other content, thanks to this improvement.
This modification shows a careful consideration of user experience, especially in the Android version where the shortcut looks like the floating action button.
It’s crucial to remember that this design decision may be viewed as a test rather than a final placement.
WhatsApp may keep making changes to the UI in response to user input and preferences.
Some beta testers who install the most recent version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app can currently access the shortcut; additional users will be able to access it in the upcoming weeks.
