WhatsApp Introduces Automatic Message Summary#
July 11, 2025
Tired of scrolling through miles of messages to figure out what's going on in group chats? WhatsApp is getting ready to solve this problem with a new feature – automatic message summary!
1. What is it#
WhatsApp is developing a feature that will allow users to quickly get a summary of new messages in chats, groups, and channels. The feature uses Meta AI to create private summaries and is processed securely through the Meta Private Processing infrastructure.
2. How does it work#
WhatsApp is testing a “Summary” button that will appear in a chat whenever there are new unread messages. By clicking on this button, you will get a summary of everything that was written, helping you quickly catch up. The feature will be available for all types of chats: personal, group and channels.
Privacy first#
WhatsApp developers have paid special attention to privacy. Messages will be processed to create a summary via Meta Private Processing. This means that:
-
The content of messages will remain confidential
-
WhatsApp, Meta or third parties will not be able to access your messages
-
Data will be processed using multi-level encryption and secure computing methods
-
The system guarantees complete anonymity
The message summary function will be completely optional. You decide whether to use it or not. However, it is worth noting that message summaries will not be available in chats where the “Enhanced Privacy” feature is enabled. This limitation is not due to any shortcomings in the Private Processing system, but rather reflects user preferences that do not want to use AI-powered features in certain conversations.
3. Who will benefit from this#
The message summary feature will be a real lifesaver for users who often receive a large number of messages, especially in active group chats or channels. Now you don’t have to waste time scrolling through hundreds of messages to understand what they are talking about. Just click the “Summary” button and get a short summary!
4. When to expect#
The message summarization feature is currently in beta testing on iOS (version 25.15.10.73 in TestFlight). It is expected to be available on both iOS and Android platforms in the future. We will keep you updated on the development of this feature until its official release.
5. Conclusion#
WhatsApp continues to evolve and offer new solutions to improve communication. The message summarization feature will be a great tool for those who value their time and want to stay up to date without sacrificing privacy. Full control over the use of the feature and maintaining privacy are key principles of WhatsApp.
