WhatsApp for Android will reportedly soon integrate a two-way voice chat feature for artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Meta AI. Now, a new report claims that the voice mode feature will also include multiple voices of public figures, allowing users to customize their interaction experience with the chatbot. Additionally, other voices from the US and the UK are also said to be integrated into the feature. Notably, Meta AI’s voice mode will be capable of holding conversations with users in a human-like manner.
According to a post by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, information about public figures' voices was spotted in WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.19.32. The feature is currently unavailable, and as a result, those who have signed up for Google's beta program will not be able to see it.
This isn’t a new initiative for Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company. Last year, the company introduced several custom AI chatbots on Messenger based on the personalities of influencers, celebrities, and other notable figures. The voice option is likely an extension of that project and could extend to AI characters.
Apart from this, the Meta AI voice mode interface for WhatsApp was also revealed in an earlier report. Once activated, the feature is said to appear with a bottom sheet with “Meta AI” written on the top and the blue ring icon placed in the center.
