Meta’s AI Is Now Available in the Beta Version of WhatsApp in Brazil, Offering Features Like Answering Questions and Creating Images.
Meta’s AI has finally started to arrive on WhatsApp in Brazil, and if you thought you’d never see this day, you can celebrate. After a long wait, the chatbot that rivals ChatGPT has come in the Beta version of the app, allowing users to ask questions and even create images directly through the app. Yes, my friends, technology is increasingly looking like science fiction!
The feature had already appeared in other countries and is now available for testing in Brazil, as noted in version 2.24.22.4 of the Beta of the Android messenger. But don’t worry, it won’t read your conversations with that crush or family group — at least, that’s what Meta assured.
Meta’s AI Begins to Gain Ground on WhatsApp in Brazil
The arrival of Meta’s AI to WhatsApp in Brazil follows the company’s promise to gradually roll out the chatbot across its apps, such as Facebook and Instagram. However, for now, Brazil only sees this novelty on WhatsApp, with no reports of AI presence on other platforms.

Users who are part of the testing program can already interact with the AI in three ways: through the search bar, via a special icon, or directly from the chat history, as if it were a regular chat. It’s worth noting that the feature has not yet reached the Web version, so for now, there’s no using Meta AI on the computer.
The difference is that the responses and creations generated by the AI are stored in the conversation with Meta AI, making it easier for those who want to review or give new commands. For now, this functionality is optional, and the app emphasizes that the AI does not access other conversations in your account, but the data exchanged with the chatbot can be used to improve the company’s AI training.
How to Use Meta AI on WhatsApp
If you are one of those who love a new feature, you can follow these steps to start playing with Meta’s AI on WhatsApp in Brazil (as long as you are in the Beta):
- Tap on the search bar.
- Type your question or command for the AI.
- Confirm that you want to use Meta AI.
- Receive responses directly in the chat window.
- Send new text commands and see what the AI can do for you.
It’s that simple! After interacting, the conversation is saved, allowing you to revisit your creations whenever you want.
Delayed Arrival and Expectations
Although other countries have been enjoying Meta AI since July, Brazil was initially left out due to a conflict between Meta and the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), which questioned the use of user data to train AI models. However, after the ANPD lifted the restrictions at the end of August, the way was cleared for the tool to finally reach Brazil.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made it clear that the goal is to make Meta AI the most widely used globally AI assistant by the end of the year. An ambitious goal, but not impossible, considering the pace at which Meta’s AI has been gaining ground on popular platforms like WhatsApp.
Now that Meta’s AI has arrived on WhatsApp in Brazil, are you ready to venture into conversations with an AI? Or are you still hesitant about what technology can do in the future?
