'Quick Recap' will let WhatsApp users scan unread chats in seconds: Details
Reportedly, the Quick Recap tool will let WhatsApp users catch up on unread messages across multiple chats, while keeping privacy protected through Meta's Private Processing New Delhi WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature called Quick Recap, which is aimed at helping users quickly catch up on unread messages across multiple chats. According to a report by WABetaInfo, Quick Recap will allow users to select up to five conversations and receive a summary of what they missed, without having to scroll through every message. The feature is currently available in the latest Android beta (version 2.25.21.12) and is expected to be released in a future update. The report stated that the feature will remain opt-in, giving users full control over whether they want to use it. Quick Recap: How it works According to the report, Quick Recap will give a better summary than the usual unread message preview. It will be helpful for users who have not checked WhatsApp in a while, as it shows the main points of conversations. This makes it easier to catch up, especially in busy group chats. The feature will be entirely optional and can be turned on in the app's settings as per users' choice. Once enabled, users will be able to tap the Quick Recap icon in the Chats tab, select up to five conversations, and receive concise recaps within seconds. However, chats protected by Advanced Chat Privacy will not be eligible for this feature. Quick Recap uses Meta's AI technology to generate summaries, but it does so while protecting user privacy through a system called Private Processing. When users request a recap, the selected message data is processed in a secure, isolated environment. This ensures that neither WhatsApp nor Meta can see the content of the messages or the summaries generated. Apart from this Quick Recap, WhatsApp is also using Private Processing for other AI-powered features that are currently under testing. This includes message summarisation of an individual or group chats and for AI-based writing suggestions.

WhatsApp could soon add an AI feature to summarise your unread chats: Here's how it works
WhatsApp is bringing yet another AI-powered feature to enhance the flow of conversations and save users time. The personal messaging app will leverage Meta AI's capabilities to allow users to get a gist of their unread messages without compromising the privacy of their conversations. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is looking to implement a new feature that will allow users to generate a summary of specific conversations. Unlike the existing message summaries feature, the new Quick Recap option will provide a more detailed summary of unread messages in selected chats. Quick Recap will save users from scrolling through long threads by presenting a concise overview of what has been discussed, using Meta AI's capabilities. While the Message Summaries feature worked with only one chat at a time, users will be able to summarise up to five conversations simultaneously with Quick Recap. To use it, users can select the chats they wish to summarise, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, and click on 'Quick Recap'. Similar to Message Summaries, WhatsApp will take advantage of Meta Private Processing technology, ensuring that raw data never leaves the secure enclave in a readable form. It will use encryption and isolated computation to ensure that neither WhatsApp nor Meta has access to the original text or the generated recap. This method allows WhatsApp to utilise in-house AI while prioritising user privacy and maintaining the sanctity of conversations. Quick Recap will reportedly support summarising both individual and group chats. However, chats protected under 'Advanced Chat Privacy' will not be included in Quick Recap, respecting users who have chosen to exclude AI-powered features from specific conversations. WABetaInfo spotted the Quick Recap feature in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.21.12. However, even beta testers would not have access to this feature for now given that it is still in development. The feature should slowly get rolled out to beta users with the upcoming updates, followed by a stable release for Android. Currently we don't have any clarity on when/if the new feature will come to the WhatsApp iOS app.

WhatsApp working on a Quick Recap feature that will let you generate message summaries for multiple chats
Last month, WhatsApp announced the stable release of the "Message Summaries" feature that enables users to summarize unread messages in chats. However, that feature only works with one chat at a time, so WhatsApp is developing another feature called "Quick Recap" that will allow users to summarize messages from multiple conversations simultaneously. According to the folks at WABetaInfo, the Quick Recap feature will allow users to summarize messages in up to five conversations. All they have to do is select the chats in the Chats tab, tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner, and click on "Quick Recap." WABetaInfo reports that, like Message Summaries, Quick Recap also uses Meta's Private Processing technology to generate message summaries, ensuring the original messages and the message summaries cannot be read by third parties, not even Meta or WhatsApp. Moreover, like Message Summaries, Quick Recap is optional and turned off by default. Besides, chats protected by "Advanced chat privacy" cannot be summarized using Quick Recap. WABetaInfo spotted this feature in beta version 2.25.21.12 of WhatsApp for Android. However, even if you are using this version, you won't be able to use the Quick Recap feature, as it's still in development. It should be available for beta users in the upcoming updates, followed by a stable release for all users. Source
