WhatsApp will add voice chat mode for Meta AI with ten different voices

WhatsApp is currently working on adding a voice chat mode for the Meta AI chatbot that resides within the messaging app in some markets.

In a future update to WhatsApp, this will be enabled and you'll even be able to choose a voice for the AI chatbot. Obviously, being able to use your voice to interact with Meta AI will make such interactions a lot simpler than when you have to text.

The option to choose the Meta AI's voice is available in the 2.24.17.16 update for WhatsApp beta for Android, which you can get a hold of if you have an Android device (of course) and you enroll it into...

First spec details for the Poco F7 and Redmi Turbo 4 leak

Today the first specs for the upcoming Poco F7 have been outed in China, though not directly. A leakster over on Weibo shared some details about the Redmi Turbo 4, which should be launched in China only and then rebranded for international markets as the Poco F7. We say that because the Poco F6 was a rebranded Redmi Turbo 3.
