WhatsApp is making it simpler for users to interact with Meta AI, its built-in chatbot, by launching a new feature that offers default conversation starters. This aims to make chatting easier and help users use the AI assistant more effectively.
These new default prompts are now available to some beta testers using the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.20.13 update, found on the Google Play Store, according to WABetaInfo.
The feature includes a hand-picked list of conversation prompts, designed to give users a clear way to begin, especially those who aren’t sure how to start a chat with the AI.
These suggestions are set automatically by Meta and are a key part of the new feature. They’re expected to change over time to keep things fresh and relevant.
Suggestions are grouped by theme to match different user interests and needs. For example, one prompt may focus on everyday life or personal moments.
Prompts like these invite users to share about their day or talk about what’s going on in their lives, helping Meta AI feel more like a real conversation.
There’s also a quick prompt focused on current events, like asking about today’s top news. This lets users explore trending topics and stay informed while chatting with Meta AI.
To add fun to the experience, WhatsApp has added a section for entertainment, which includes fun and playful prompts. These invite users to try personality quizzes, games like “20 Questions,” or funny challenges like silly IQ tests.
Another important group of prompts supports emotional guidance. These encourage users to discuss personal struggles, set goals, or think about big life changes.
It’s worth noting that users aren’t stuck with only the prompts Meta AI offers. They can still type anything they want in the chat box and ask Meta AI about any topic or question that interests them.
These prompts are simply there to spark ideas and help people start conversations when needed.
These default prompts are expected to reach more users over the next few weeks.
