So how will the new AI label work in WhatsApp channels? The post claims when the admins see a paid branded post they can tap and hold the post where they will get the option “Add AI content label” which will be visible to all the users and they will not be able to remove it.
The tipster is quick to point out that WhatsApp might exclude text content from this AI label and limit its support for media files. It does make sense to use AI labels for images or video files, something that Meta is already doing with Instagram and WhatsApp becoming the next part of these systems.
WhatsApp will allow the label to reflect on content generated using any AI tool and not just Meta AI which is also the right way to go about.
WhatsApp was recently in the news for inadvertently blocking many accounts in India, disabling their ability to read or send text chats and other features of the app. The company cited this as a technical error at its end and offered an immediate fix for the affected users.
