9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-29 03:52:11

A couple of weeks ago, WABetaInfo spotted signs that Meta was gearing up to bring AI-generated summaries for WhatsApp messages. Today, the feature is officially live for users in the U.S. Here’s how to use it. Summarization is perhaps one of the most useful applications of generative AI, especially when it comes to quickly catching up on transactional information.

Meta announced on Wednesday that it’s adding an AI-powered summaries feature to WhatsApp. The optional new feature uses Meta AI to summarize unread messages in a chat. This summary would only be visible to you, not others in your chat, the company notes. The feature builds on the AI technology that Meta released in April, which allowed the company to implement AI features that don’t impact encryption or user privacy. “Message Summaries uses Private Processing technology, which allows Meta AI

NetEase, the Chinese video game company that published Marvel Rivals and Bungie's Destiny: Rising, has announced its first single-player AAA game.

Google Messages will help you shame your friends into finally turning on RCS (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-06 03:00:47

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR To take full advantage of RCS messaging features, everyone in the chat needs to have RCS enabled. Google Messages is working on a feature that would prompt you to send friends without RCS a message asking them to turn it on. Messaging on Android is better than it’s ever been, and a big part of that is due to the arrival of Rich Communication Services (RCS) support. While that’s absolutely helped start pulling down some of the walls between Android and

If you're an iPhone owner, you might be familiar with this experience.

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-10 07:51:28

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates. Among the host of new CarPlay features coming in iOS 26, there’s a key fix for what’s long been the most annoying Messages issue for me: the lack of tapbacks support.

Google Messages just pulled the plug on its new unsubscribe button for some users

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is removing a new Messages feature that made it easier to unsubscribe from automated business texts for users in the U.S. and Spain. The feature added a prominent unsubscribe button to chats, which sent a “STOP” command for the user after they provided a reason for unsubscribing. It’s unclear why the feature is being removed only in the U.S. and Spain but not other countries. Businesses, charities, and political campaigns send millions of auto
