How to Use Meta AI Effectively on WhatsApp (And How to Ignore It If You Don't Need It)

What is Meta AI on WhatsApp

Starting in mid-2024, Meta introduced an AI assistant built into WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Based on the Llama 3.2 model, Meta AI is a chatbot that can:

• Answer questions on any topic
• Generate ideas, translations, texts, suggestions
• Get involved in group chats via mention too

If your app is up to date and you are one of the selected users, you will notice a blue icon above the button to start a new conversation. That is where Meta AI lives.
