Message summaries are coming to WhatsApp.
The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.15.12 update includes an in-development AI feature that privately summarizes messages in chats, groups, and channels, allowing users to quickly catch up on lengthy conversations. It isn't available for testing yet, but WABetaInfo notes the summarization feature won't be available in chats where Advanced Chat Privacy is enabled when it does roll out.

No action needed: Gmail now saves you time with automatic email summaries
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gmail on smartphones now automatically offers AI-generated summaries for some emails. Google says this applies to situations like long email threads and messages with several replies. The feature is available today for Gmail on Android and iOS. Google has been on a quest to bring generative AI to many of its apps and services, and Gmail is no exception. The company currently offers AI tools like writing assistance and summaries, and it's now making the latter feature more prominent. Google revealed on its Workspace Updates blog that AI-generated summaries will now automatically show at the top of some emails in Gmail for Android and iOS. Previously, you'd need to tap the 'summarize this email' button in the app to generate a summary. These summaries would be displayed in emails where a summary is deemed helpful. The company specifically gives examples like longer email threads or messages with several replies. 'Gemini will synthesize all the key points from the email thread and any replies thereafter will also be a part of the synopsis, keeping all summaries up to date,' Google explains. How often do you use AI features in Gmail? 0 votes All the time! NaN % I use them now and again NaN % I don't use AI in Gmail NaN % Google says this feature is available today in English, although it might take up to 15 days to see it. The company adds that you can still manually trigger AI-generated summaries for emails by tapping the 'summarize this email' button. That's useful if the automatic summary hasn't kicked in for your desired message or thread. These automatic summaries should be helpful for many people, although the scattershot nature of generative AI means you should still check the entirety of more important email threads. Don't care for these summaries? You can disable them by disabling Gemini integration in Gmail, but you do lose out on other Gemini features (e.g. the Gemini chatbot) by doing this. Got a tip?

The Gmail app can automatically summarize those long email threads
Gmail will now automatically show you a summary card for lengthy email threads if you check a Google Workspace account on the iOS or the Android app. The company introduced AI summaries last year when it rolled out Gemini side panels for Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive and Gmail. However, you'd have had to manually tap the "Summarize this email" option at the top of emails before if you wanted to see a thread's contents at a glance. Now, the summary will show up at the top of the email the moment you open a thread. Google's AI assistant will write up key points from multiple messages and include them in the summary. It will keep re-generating that summary and keeping it up to date as more replies come in. At the moment, however, the feature will only work for emails written in English. Also, your personalization smart features in Gmail, Chat and Meet, as well as smart features in Google Workspace, have to be switched on. As The Verge notes, Google didn't say whether it will also make auto-summaries available on non-Workspace accounts and Gmail on desktop. But you can always tap the "Summarize this email" option at the top whenever auto-summary isn't available for you. In addition to summarizing emails, Gemini in Gmail can help you draft new emails and help you find information from within your inbox or from your Drive files. At I/O 2025, Google CEO Sundar Pichai introduced Personalized Smart Replies, an upcoming feature that can look at your past emails and files to draft a response containing relevant information in the tone you typically use when you write.
