WhatsApp introduces AI-powered message summaries with privacy-focused tech
WhatsApp has launched a new feature called Message Summaries, which uses Meta AI to provide quick summaries of unread messages in a chat. Rolled out in English for users in the United States, the feature is aimed at helping users quickly grasp the gist of conversations they've missed without reading each individual message. Displayed in bullet-point format, the AI-generated summaries can be accessed by simply tapping on the unread message count in a chat. These summaries are private and only visible to the individual user. WhatsApp emphasizes that users remain in control—they can choose to opt into the feature and even restrict which chats can be summarized using Advanced Chat Privacy settings. The company underlines that it uses a privacy-preserving technology called Private Processing, which ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can see any user messages while generating the summaries. This aligns with the platform's continued focus on user security and confidentiality. Though the accuracy of the summaries is yet to be independently verified, WhatsApp has plans to expand the feature to more languages and countries later this year. The Message Summaries rollout comes as part of a broader push by Meta to integrate AI into WhatsApp. Recently, features like the Meta AI button and @Meta AI prompts in chats have also been introduced—though unlike Message Summaries, these AI features are turned on by default and currently cannot be disabled. This latest update follows the platform's recent controversial move to introduce advertisements in the app—a step the app's original founders had strongly opposed. Stay tuned as WhatsApp continues to evolve with more AI-driven tools aimed at improving usability while prioritizing privacy.

Sule says Shaktipeeth will ruin state finances
Mumbai: A few days after the state cabinet approved the Rs 20,787 crore Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth highway, NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule has stepped into the row over the project, saying the cash-starved state govt will not be able to afford the massive expenditure on the proposal. "State govt must give a serious thought to the huge expenditure on the project, particularly in view of the critical financial situation of the state. It will take several decades to restore the situation. It will have a massive impact on the Marathi people," Sule said. Sule referred to a series of reports in a section of the media, saying there is strong opposition to the project from all sections. "When our financial situation is very bad, still we are in the process of securing a loan of Rs 30,000 crore, with an interest of 8.85%, it is beyond the financial capacity of the state to afford such a high interest," Sule said.

Sule said it was found that elected representatives of almost all the political parties have opposed the land acquisition process. "We need infrastructure projects, but at the same time, govt should not impose such projects on the people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Reverter encolhimento muscular após os 50 depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo If we accept the Shaktipeeth highway, there will be adverse impact on the financial situation of the state. Even the planning and finance departments have raised concern over the impact of the project on the financial situation of the project," Sule said. Sule asked why the govt is insisting on implementation of the project at a juncture when the local farmers have opposed it. "Farmers are not keen on the highway, if the project is implemented, it will have adverse impact on the financial situation of the state. People must examine the remarks of the finance and planning department," she said. MPCC president Harshawardhan Sapkal alleged that the Shaktipeeth highway is being planned and implemented at the behest of Delhi's elite, to benefit favoured industrialists. Sapkal said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis is pushing for the Shaktipeeth highway on orders from Delhi's power brokers. "A corridor is being planned from central India to Goa's port to help favoured industrialists export their raw materials abroad. This is a red-carpet project exclusively for them," Sapkal said. Sapkal said that while an allocation of Rs 20,000 crore has been made, the expenditure could go up to Rs 1.5 lakh crore and is a ploy for corrupt profiteering. "This is the beginning of pushing Maharashtra towards bankruptcy, since the debt burden has cross the mark of Rs 9.82 lakh crore," he said.
