Here's how to enable the featureIn the screenshot shared by WABetainfo, it seems that Meta AI will also come with a disclaimer that the chatbot “automatically remembers certain parts of your chat to give you more relevant responses". Moreover, users will be able to provide Meta AI with specific information they want the AI chatbot to retain by using the “remember this" command.For privacy-conscious users like me, the report notes that WhatsApp users will have complete control over the information Meta AI retains, and they will also be able to choose to update or delete certain information at any time.Notably, the Chat Memory feature was spotted by the publication in the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.22.9, and it states that WhatsApp will soon roll out this update to a wider audience.
