Works for me. But muscle memory stopped trying it though..
They must have different rules regarding update releases in different countries
Friend next to me got the update on the 16th
I (on an Israeli number) didn't see any updates until after midnight (Sunday the 17th)

When it originally rolled out, they said they did it to comply with Google's updated design guidelines.
Then they re-enabled it for a bit because users wanted it back.
Then they disabled it again.

So I wouldn't expect it to come back.
From experience, you get used to not swiping very quickly too.
I'm in the US on latest version of Android and never got that on the bottom (not complaining).

Mine updated to the bottom for a few weeks and then one day went back to the old layout with swiping.

You should be able to shut off meta ai in the settings.
See if that helps

I looked around and couldn't find such a setting.

I asked meta ai and it helped.
I understand now. To turn off the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the chat with the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp.
2. Tap the three dots ( Settings) at the top right corner of the chat window.
3. Select "Mute" or "Block" to disable further messages from the chatbot.

Alternatively, you can also long press on the chatbot's message and select "Report Spam" to block the chatbot.

If you want to disable the Meta AI chatbot completely, you can also go to the WhatsApp settings:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to Settings.
2. Select "Account".
3. Scroll down and toggle off "Meta AI" under the "Account Features" section.

By doing so, you will no longer receive messages from the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp.

I see now, but that still doesn't change the meta ai search as in the first screenshot.

If you are using WhatsApp backup to Google drive. I just got a notification that WhatsApp backup is beginning to count as part of the accounts storage limit.
