WhatsApp is currently working on a significant upgrade to its Meta AI, introducing a feature dubbed 'thinking mode.' This new functionality will allow users to choose between quick responses and in-depth analyses during conversations.

The introduction of advanced reasoning capabilities aims to improve the interaction quality and aligns Meta AI more closely with other leading AI assistants.

Previously, WhatsApp removed access to external AI chatbots, now positioning Meta AI as the only integrated assistant within the app.

This development comes on the heels of features already present in the beta version for Android, where users can send messages directly to Meta AI without manual entry, enhancing efficiency and response speed.

Confirmed vs unclear: The 'thinking mode' is expected to enhance the accuracy and depth of responses, especially for complex tasks, which had been a limitation in prior versions.

What we can confirm is that this feature is still in development; what’s still unclear is the exact release date or the full range of capabilities that will eventually be offered.
