Meta Removes Mysterious Blue Ring from WhatsApp's AI Feature
New Delhi: Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has removed the blue ring from its Meta AI feature. Recently, users noticed a blue ring on WhatsApp, which had surprised many and led to speculation about its purpose. However, the blue ring has now been unexpectedly removed from WhatsApp on Android, iOS, and Windows platforms. This ring served as a shortcut to access Meta AI chatbot.
Currently, some users can still see the blue ring on their phones and Windows apps, and it is functioning as intended. However, for many users, the blue ring has completely disappeared. Meta AI is an artificial intelligence-based (AI) chatbot developed by Meta. The blue ring was a shortcut to quickly access this AI chatbot by tapping or clicking on it.
Meta AI: Competing with ChatGPT and Gemini AI
Earlier this year, Meta launched Meta AI to compete with Microsoft-OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini AI. This feature allows users to get answers to their questions through AI. The AI chatbot market is growing rapidly, and Meta aims to stay competitive by releasing Meta AI globally, including in India.
The disappearance of the blue ring is currently considered a bug, as it is working on some devices while missing from others. Meta or WhatsApp has not yet provided any official information regarding this issue.
How to Use Meta AI?
To use Meta AI, a blue ring appears on WhatsApp. Clicking on this ring opens the Meta AI chatbot, where users can ask any question or request to write an article, poem, or story on a specific topic. Additionally, users can create images by describing what they want to the chatbot, and it generates the image accordingly.
Support for Hindi and AI-Generated Profile Pictures
Initially, Meta launched the Meta AI chatbot with limited features, which did not include support for local languages. Recently, Meta has added support for multiple languages, including Hindi. Users can now get responses in Hindi as well. Additionally, Meta is working on a feature to create profile pictures using AI, allowing users to edit photos with Meta AI Imagine.
As Meta continues to develop and enhance its AI features, users eagerly await further updates and improvements to the Meta AI chatbot experience.
