WhatsApp's Meta AI feature rolls out in South Africa — Features and privacy protection explained
Meta Platforms started rolling out its built-in artificial intelligence (AI) assistant for WhatsApp in South Africa last week, exposing many more people to text-to-image generation and AI-powered online search features.
However, given its parent company's notorious reputation for collecting vast amounts of personal data from users and, in some instances, failing to protect it adequately, some might be concerned about the implications this tool will have on their private conversations or in-app searches.
