WhatsApp for Android is soon integrating a two-way voice chat feature for the in-app artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Meta AI. Now, a new report claims that the voice mode feature will also include multiple voices of public figures. This allows users to customise their experience of interacting with the chatbot. Additionally, other voices from the US and the UK will also be integrated into the feature. Notably, Meta AI voice mode will be capable of holding conversations with the users in a human-like manner.

Meta AI Voice Mode on WhatsApp

WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo spotted the information regarding the voices of public figures in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.19.32. The feature is currently not visible. As a result, those who have signed up for the Google Beta Programme will not be able to see it.

In the screenshot that the feature tracker shared, it can be seen that WhatsApp is planning to implement several voices for Meta AI. These voices will differ in pitch, tonality, and accents to allow a unique experience for users. These will likely be similar to ChatGPT’s existing Voice Mode which offers four different voices to users.

Interestingly, there will also be four voices belonging to public figures. While the feature tracker didn’t disclose the names, they could be of influencers or celebrities.
