WhatsApp has introduced a new feature named “Writing Help”, an AI-powered tool designed to enhance the clarity, professionalism, and tone of messages directly within the app. The feature, which launched on Wednesday, allows users to rewrite messages with ease while maintaining the platform’s strong emphasis on privacy.
Popular Messaging App Launches Writing Help
Popular messaging app WhatsApp has launched a brand-new feature called “Writing Help”. This tool uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist users in writing better and clearer messages. With Writing Help, users no longer need to worry about composing perfect texts — the AI provides suggestions to improve wording, style, and tone.
Private and Secure
Privacy remains a key focus for WhatsApp. According to the company, the Writing Help feature is built on private processing technology. This means that messages will remain completely private. Neither WhatsApp nor Meta can read the texts or the AI suggestions. Your messages stay secure, giving users confidence in using this AI tool safely.
How It Works
Using Writing Help is simple:
- When writing a message, users can click on a new pencil icon to open Writing Help.
- The AI will provide different style suggestions, which the user can accept, edit, or ignore.
- After typing a message, if the user taps on the emoji icon, a small arrow sign will appear. Clicking this will turn on Writing Help automatically, and the AI will start offering suggestions.
This process makes writing faster, clearer, and more professional while staying fully optional.
Tested for Security
WhatsApp ensures that security is a priority. The company mentioned that the technical details of this private processing system were shared earlier and reviewed by security experts. Independent research groups, including NCC Group and Trail of Bits, have published audit reports, confirming the safety and reliability of this feature.
Optional Feature
Features based on private processing, such as Writing Help and Message Summaries, are optional. They remain turned off by default, allowing users to choose whether to enable them. This ensures that users maintain control over their messaging experience.
Availability
Currently, the Writing Help feature is available only in English for users in the United States and a few other countries. It has not yet been launched in Pakistan. However, WhatsApp plans to expand it to more regions and languages by the end of this year, making the feature accessible to a wider audience.
Conclusion
WhatsApp’s AI-powered Writing Help makes messaging faster, clearer, and professional while keeping privacy intact. Optional and secure, this feature enhances user experience. It is currently available in select countries, with plans to expand globally soon.
