Overview
- WhatsApp’s latest TestFlight build and recent Android betas, spotted Tuesday, reference a “Get a summary” option that rolls up unread messages across multiple chats.
- The new view would give users one short, private overview so they can catch up fast without opening each conversation.
- Meta’s Private Processing handles the summaries in a locked computing environment that uses encryption and techniques like Oblivious HTTP to prevent WhatsApp or Meta from seeing the content.
- The feature remains in development with no public release date, and it is expected to reach more beta testers before any wider rollout.
- Use will be optional and must be enabled in settings, building on per-chat summaries already live in some regions and on a system that WABetaInfo says has been audited by NCC Group and Trail of Bits.
