WhatsApp Begins Rolling Out Third-Party AI Agent Support on Android
WhatsApp has begun rolling out support for third-party AI agents on Android, expanding beyond its existing Meta AI assistant. The feature allows users to access and interact with AI services from external developers directly within WhatsApp conversations, similar to how users already engage with the platform's built-in assistant.
The integration aims to provide users with more choice in AI assistance while keeping the experience native to WhatsApp's interface. This move positions WhatsApp as a platform for AI agent interactions rather than just a messaging service, following a broader industry trend of embedding AI capabilities into existing communication tools.
Users will likely see the feature enabled gradually as the rollout progresses across different regions and device configurations.
