WhatsApp has been hinting at a new AI chatbot that intends to transform the way users engage on the messaging platform. Now, certain individuals in places such as India are starting to directly experience what benefits the Llama-powered AI chatbot offers to WhatsApp users.

Numerous users have mentioned spotting the Meta AI chatbot in their WhatsApp chat feed, positioned below the + icon for starting new chats. On iPhones, the Meta AI icon can be seen in the search bar at the top of the interface.

AI chatbots are widely adopted across various platforms, making it essential for WhatsApp to integrate them, thanks to its parent company Meta. You can activate the Meta AI chatbot similar to how you chat with any friend or family member on WhatsApp. When you tap on the AI chatbot, you'll find various options to begin using it. These options range from generating AI images to asking for trivia or listening to a scary story.

Meta is clearly concentrating on integrating its AI tools into various products. WhatsApp is poised to receive these features, and millions of its users are eagerly awaiting the integration of AI technology into their messaging experience.

WhatsApp has extensively tested this AI feature, and the expanded testing suggests that the public release is likely approaching. We have personally verified the presence of the AI chatbot on WhatsApp, but our beta version has not yet received this feature. Additionally, we have noticed WhatsApp experimenting with an AI-driven image editing tool.

When opening an image on WhatsApp, users will see a new green icon. This AI editing feature enables users to adjust the background, style the image differently, or even expand it. We are unsure how these modes will affect the images or which action will activate the AI tool, but it looks promising nonetheless.
