WhatsApp has added a new shortcut to its interface that enables users to open a conversation with Meta AI from the Chats tab, improving its visibility and accessibility for users.
According to WABetaInfothe new shortcut, introduced by the Meta-owned instant messaging app in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.25.10.79 update, replaces the previous shortcut at the top of the navigation bar.
With this placement, Meta’s popular instant messaging app aims to improve the feature’s visibility and accessibility, especially on larger devices where reaching the top of the screen can be a pain.
Additionally, the app aims to experiment with new shortcuts for more users to explore AI-powered features and functionalities such as creating personalized photos.
This change reflects a thoughtful adjustment that complements the user experience, especially in the Android version, where the shortcut resembles a floating action button.
However, it is important to note that this design choice can be seen as a test rather than a final placement.
WhatsApp may continue to change the interface based on user preferences and feedback.
This shortcut is currently available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and will be rolled out to more people in the coming weeks.
