According to the WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, the new feature will make Meta AI more personalised to users. The new feature was reportedly spotted in the WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.22.9. However, the feature is not visible currently and those who have signed up for the Google Beta Programme will not be able to try the feature out.

Dubbed chat memory, the new feature allows users to ask Meta AI to remember specific information about themselves. The feature tracker also shared a couple of screenshots of the feature which highlights how it might work. Based on the images, the option for Memory will be added to the profile page of Meta AI. Users can access it by tapping the Meta AI title within the chat interface.

Once on the profile page, users can see this new option. WhatsApp describes it as “What Meta AI remembers about you”. You can access this menu option. Whenever you save a piece of information, it will appear there.

The feature tracker claims users can ask the AI to remember information. These can be dietary preference, profession, birthdays, preferred conversation style, and more.  Once saved, it can access this information and answer queries keeping it in mind. For instance, a vegan user might get only vegan food recipes when they ask for suggestions.
