Key Points
WhatsApp is reportedly set to introduce an AI chatbot on its instant messaging platform, and the most recent beta version of the app includes a specialized button for convenient access to this feature..
In the September beta release of WhatsApp, the AI chatbot was introduced, but it was concealed within the contact list, creating difficulty in locating and initiating conversations..
To streamline the process and enhance user experience, the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.24.26 now incorporates a small button on the home screen for quick access to the chatbot..
Meanwhile, WhatsApp disclosed in a blog post that its calling feature leverages peer-to-peer connections, delivering faster data transfers and optimal audio quality..
To address this concern, WhatsApp has introduced a fresh privacy feature named 'Protect IP Address in Calls.' With this setting in place, individual calls no longer rely on P2P connections but are rather routed through a server, effectively concealing your IP address from the view of other participants..
