AI is available on WhatsApp and can access chats and personal data unless the 'Enhanced Privacy' option is activated by group administrators.

The claims about AI availability and privacy concerns on WhatsApp are largely unsupported by substantial evidence. While there is mention of AI integration, it is indicated as optional and not automatically accessing all user chats and information. No evidence suggests that the Enhanced Privacy must be activated by group administrators or that lack thereof would allow AI access to personal information. Given the speculative nature and lack of corroborative evidence, the claims cannot be verified as factual.

AI is available on WhatsApp starting from Saturday 21/2 and can access all chats.
There is evidence of AI tools being available on WhatsApp, but these tools are optional and do not inherently access all chats. The AI is embedded but not obligatory for users. No evidence supports wide access to all chats by AI without user consent.

Mixed Advice
Group chat administrators should share the information about 'Enhanced Privacy' with other groups.
This is a subjective opinion rather than a factual claim. There is no requirement or evidence suggesting administrators must share this information; it's a recommendation, not fact.
