WhatsApp has improved its visibility and accessibility for users by adding a new shortcut to its design that allows users to start a conversation with Meta AI from the conversations tab.
The former shortcut at the top of the navigation bar has been replaced by the new shortcut, which was revealed by the Meta-owned instant messaging program in the most recent WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.25.10.79 update.
Meta’s well-known instant messaging service hopes to increase the feature’s exposure and accessibility with this positioning, particularly on larger screens where it could be difficult to reach the top of the screen.
Through the new shortcut, the app also hopes to entice more users to play with AI-powered features and capabilities like creating customised photos.
This modification shows a careful consideration of user experience, especially in the Android version where the shortcut looks like the floating action button.
It’s crucial to remember that this design decision may be viewed as a test rather than a final placement.
WhatsApp may keep making changes to the UI in response to user input and preferences.
Some beta testers who install the most recent version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app can currently access the shortcut; additional users will be able to access it in the upcoming weeks.
