WhatsApp has introduced many quiet new features at a time when Artai is gaining popularity in India. On the platform owned by the meta, users will now be able to use AI to express their creativity in chat also.

According to WhatsApp, users can create a chat theme with Mata AI. Earlier this year, the chat theme was introduced as a way to customize the look of the app on its phone or use a special theme for a specific chat. Now users can only give a signal and get a chat theme of their choice with meta AI.

Additionally, you can create an AI background for video calls on WhatsApp, which is a fun way to interact with your friends and family. WhatsApp claims that you can add background when taking photos or videos directly into a chat.

In addition, users can now share live photos through WhatsApp. In 2015, Apple introduced live photos with the iPhone 6s for the first time. Many Android manufacturers have introduced their versions of the year. Live photos or motion photos capture a small video sequence while taking an image.

Other updates include support for document scanning on Android, a feature that was already available on the iPhone. All WhatsApp users can now search for a group chat by writing the name of any contact which is part of that group.

Can Artai replace WhatsApp?

When it comes to messaging platforms, WhatsApp is an undeniable leader. However, Aratai Meta has emerged as a potentially-made-in-India option for Meta-owned apps. Aratai is a messaging platform made by Homegron Tech firm Zoho.

Aratai has increased in popularity in the last few days, even the Apple App has reached number 1 on the App Store. The app was also supported by government officials, including Union Education Minister Dharmendra Prasad.

Aratai has some unique features compared to WhatsApp. Users receive a dedicated meeting section for Google Meat. This allows for organized meetings and calls through Aratai.

In addition, Aratai also brings a ‘until I arrive’ to share the place. When the user set reached the destination, the live location is automatically closed, making it more convenient.

Artai has the ability to make it larger in India. But still a long way is to go before it can come closer to changing WhatsApp. Messages on Aratai are not end-to-end encrypted, a major concern for individuals who want to keep their data private. However, Zoho has claimed that he will soon bring end-to-end encryption to the app.
