(Bloomberg) ![Author Photo](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/HTTech-new-circle-logo.png) ### By MD IJAJ KHAN WhatsApp is on the brink of a groundbreaking shift in user interaction by integrating Meta AI directly into its search bar. This bold move promises to streamline access to AI assistance within the app, eliminating the need for users to navigate to a separate Meta AI conversation. Spotted in the latest Android WhatsApp beta update (version 2.23.25.15) by WABetaInfo, this innovative feature is poised to redefine how users engage with Meta AI. Rather than hunting for the Meta AI shortcut, users can simply start typing in the search bar to access its wealth of knowledge and assistance. Also read: iPhone update rolled out!

The update will empower users with greater control over their app interface, allowing them to manage the visibility of the Meta AI shortcut within the top app bar. Beyond this, WhatsApp is actively exploring additional avenues to enhance user interaction with Meta AI, even without the immediate presence of the shortcut. ## Seamless Querying with Prompts In a recent discovery within the WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.7.14), it was found that WhatsApp is working on a feature to seamlessly pose queries to Meta AI. According to a screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, users will be able to input their inquiries directly within the search bar, bypassing the need to initiate a separate conversation with Meta AI.
