Meta AI will be able to remember your WhatsApp chat with a new feature, know all about it

• MetaAI might soon be able to remember conversations
• The chatbot is getting a memory feature
• The feature isn't yet available for testing

When MetaAI started rolling out for WhatsApp users, the internet was full of people experimenting with the then-new AI chatbot in town. Since MetaAI can be accessed on WhatsApp, it is a popular app in India as well as other countries. The chatbot can answer questions, generate images, rewrite content, and whatnot. However, there’s one thing it can’t do - remember the conversations. But as per a new report from WA Beta Info, this might change soon.

Meta AI could soon get memory feature

At present, if you ask Meta AI about a previous conversation, it will respond with something like this:

“I don't have personal memories, so I don't recall specific conversations. Each time you interact with me, it's a new conversation, and I start from a blank slate. Please feel free to provide more context, and I'll do my best to assist you.”

However, as per a new WA Beta Info report, a new feature is on the way that will make the Meta AI chatbot more tailored to users' needs.

The new feature, called “chat memory,” is being developed to enhance the chatbot’s ability to recall specific details about users, leading to more personalised interactions. This upcoming feature has been spotted in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.24.22.9, although it’s not yet available to testers.

How will the feature work

The chat memory function will allow Meta AI to remember key details authorised by users, such as their dietary preferences, speaking style, or important milestones like birthdays. This means that the AI could deliver more accurate and context-aware responses, whether it’s suggesting a vegan recipe or adjusting its tone of conversation to match a user’s preference for formality.

Meta first introduced its AI chatbot to WhatsApp earlier this year, with the goal of making the app more useful as a personal assistant. With features like Hindi language support and voice message capabilities, Meta AI has been steadily evolving to meet user needs. Now, the addition of chat memory is expected to take things a step further by transforming Meta AI into a more intuitive and customised digital assistant. This new level of personalisation is designed to make Meta AI feel more human-like and engaging, fostering a deeper, more useful interaction with users.

Talking about privacy, the report adds that users will retain full control over what information Meta AI remembers, with options to update or delete stored details at any time. This mirrors similar features seen in other tech companies’ AI tools, which have faced scrutiny in the past for potential privacy invasions.

There is no word yet about when will this feature be available to users.
