WhatsApp working on a new feature - 'Quick Recap'

WhatsApp is expected to be working on a new feature called Quick Recap, which is designed to help users quickly catch up on unread messages across multiple chats. Quick Recap will allow users to select up to five conversations and receive a summary of what they missed, without having to scroll through every message. The feature is currently available in the latest Android beta and is expected to be released in a future update.

Report suggests that Quick Recap is aimed at improving how users navigate through lengthy or multiple chat threads. The feature is reportedly being built on WhatsApp’s earlier message summaries feature, which allows users to get an overview of unread messages in a single conversation. This summary feature is currently available in the US.

This feature is also said to be a bit more enhanced than the summary feature, as it will enable users to select up to five chats simultaneously and receive a concise, AI-generated summary of key messages from each conversation. It is said to be designed to help users save the time and effort of scrolling through endless message threads, especially after being away from the app for a while.

To access Quick Recap, users will be able to go to the Chats tab, choose multiple conversations, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, and select the Quick Recap option. Once activated, Meta’s in-house AI will process unread messages and produce a summarized version of what’s been discussed — offering a quick and clean way to catch up.
