In India alone, some of the most followed channels include Bollywood stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif, as well as the Indian Cricket Team, Diljit Dosanjh, Vijay Deverakonda, and Netflix India. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has recently joined the growing list of public figures using WhatsApp Channels.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Channels feature, WhatsApp is also advancing its AI capabilities. The messaging app is set to introduce a two-way voice chat function powered by Meta AI. This new feature will allow users to interact with a chatbot using various voices, including those of celebrities, offering a more dynamic and personalized experience.<\/p>\n<p>According to<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"manualbacklink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/news\/trends\/ganesh-chaturthi-2024-whatsapp-messages-smses-images-and-gifs-to-share-with-family-friends-11725669605518.html\"> WABetaInfo,<\/a> a source for WhatsApp updates, the AI voice chat feature will present users with a range of voices differing in pitch, tonality, and accent.

Furthermore, voices from public figures such as influencers and celebrities are expected to be part of this new interaction option.<\/p>\n<p>This development builds on Meta\u2019s earlier attempts to incorporate AI-driven personalities into its messaging services.
