For a private messaging app it's getting worse and worse, especially with the sudden appearance of the invasive AI tool overnight, which I am unable to switch off to my greatest disappointment. I don't need it and never will I make use of it, so it would be great to be able to have the option to turn it off. Plus, it doesn't make the layout of the homepage look better :/ Just no

This app used to be perfect..until they introduced the Meta AI button. Whilst some might find it useful, I feel that it has been forced on me as there is no way to remove, hide or disable the floating Meta AI button. I personally don't need it or want it, if I should require it then give me the option. It's very annoying. Please get rid of it otherwise I will start looking at alternatives. Remember, sooner or later a better app will come out and WhatsApp will disappear into history!

I was pretty satisfied with the WhatsApp Experience over the last few years. some small unnecessary additions made the app less convenient to use, but never irritated me to a level the new AI additions do. The new buttons and chat dialogue are very annoying and have zero added value over the dozens of AI chat clients already available. Please provide an option to turn this off
