WhatsApp to let you manage chat history with Meta AI
01 Mar 2026

WhatsApp has rolled out a new beta update for Android, version 2.26.9.4, through the Google Play Beta Program.

The latest release introduces a feature that lets users organize their chat history with Meta AI.

Currently, the feature is being made available to select beta testers and will be expanded to more users in the coming days.

A dedicated Meta AI tab is in the works
Feature overview

The latest update also includes a dedicated Meta AI tab, which is still under development.

The tab will serve as a one-stop shop for all AI-powered features offered by Meta. It will include quick image generation, calling with Meta AI, and individual conversations with the chatbot.

This move is aimed at simplifying user interaction with these features by bringing them into a single hub.

Organize your chat history with Meta AI
User control

The latest update also brings a feature that lets users manage their chat history with Meta AI.

When you send a new prompt to the chatbot, it starts a new conversation.

The information shared in this new conversation is used by Meta AI to understand context and respond to future commands.

The update introduces separate threads for each conversation, allowing for better organization and management of chat history with Meta AI.

Separate threads for each conversation
Thread management

The latest update allows WhatsApp users to manage information shared in specific conversations with Meta AI.

Each conversation is treated as a separate thread, preventing automatic transfer of information from one chat to another.

However, memory remains shared across all AI threads unless disabled by the user from the contact info screen.

This new approach keeps user interactions with Meta AI organized and simplifies management of different topics independently.

Users can also customize conversation titles
User customization

Meta AI automatically generates a title for each conversation based on its context.

If users are not happy with the auto-generated title or want to use a different one for easy identification, they can customize it.

This is done by tapping and holding the conversation, tapping the pencil icon, and entering a new name.

The updated title will immediately appear in the conversation list for future reference.
