Meta is working on a new WhatsApp feature that allows users to upload documents directly to Meta AI from the attachment menu in a chat. Here are the details.
As WhatsApp users who rely on Meta AI know, the assistant’s file support is quite limited so far. Currently, users can either upload photos from the iPhone gallery or take a new one from within the conversation.
From there, users can ask questions about the content of the photo.
However, Meta AI still lags behind other AI-powered assistants in that it allows users to upload documents, ask them questions about the file, such as a long table, or discuss the content of the PDF directly with the assistant.
Now, like Noted by WABetaInfoThat’s exactly what the meta works on.
Based on the WhatsApp beta for iOS 26.20.10.72 available via TestFlight, the app now offers the ability to share documents with Meta AI for some beta testers.
From WABetaInfo:
Sharing a document with Meta AI can make it much easier to get accurate and relevant information. Instead of copying and pasting text or describing content manually, users can simply share the file directly. This allows the AI to analyze the document in context to provide more targeted answers. If a document has a problem or question, Meta AI can work through it step-by-step and suggest a solution. Additionally, it improves the experience by bringing interactions closer to how users already share documents in their chats and groups. Previously, users often had to take screenshots and send images to achieve a similar result. With document exchange, interaction becomes faster and more accurate.
The option reportedly appears in the in-chat attachment menu and allows users to send files directly to Meta AI without having to copy and paste text or rely on screenshots.
WABetaInfo noting that the feature is “available to some beta testers,” adding that it will “roll out to more users in the coming weeks.”
Site also notes said that the feature is already rolling out in WhatsApp beta for Android, and that the latest TestFlight build has brought the iOS version up to par with that rollout.
As is often the case with WhatsApp features in beta, WABetaInfo says that a “limited number of users can also test” document sharing with Meta AI through the App Store version of the app.
However, as it is same situation with the new WhatsApp featureseven after its official release, there is no word on when it will reach all users.
