Questions about this comparison

Practical differences, limits, and privacy · 5 questions

How do I turn on WhatsApp writing help?
First turn on Private Processing (on Android: Settings > Chats > Private Processing; it is off by default). Then, in a chat, tap the stickers icon and the writing help icon, or long-press a draft of 4 words or more and tap Rewrite.
Does it read my conversation?
For suggested messages, yes: they are based on your recent conversation. For rewrites, it works on your draft. WhatsApp says both run through Private Processing and are not stored.
So why use RIZR?
RIZR is built for dating: 7 tones to flirt, tease, or rescue a dead chat, profile-based openers, reads of what their message means, and it works with screenshots from any app, not just WhatsApp.
Does it work on WhatsApp Web?
Writing help does not, according to WhatsApp. RIZR has a web mode (Pro) where you paste the screenshot with ⌘V.
Does either send the message for me?
No. In both you pick a suggestion, edit it if you like, and send it yourself.
