WhatsApp will add AI Image-generation powered by Meta
Meta will allow WhatsApp users to generate AI image of themselves using artificial intelligence. WABetaInfo discovered in WhatsApp Beta v2.24.14.13 that developers are working on the development of an optional feature to allow users to generate AI images.
WhatsApp is working to deploy the AI image generation feature with the next update. It will let users take a single set of photos, which Meta AI will then use to generate AI images. The given image will be adjustable, making the AI generate images accurately.
Developers intend to bring full control over this feature to users. Ensuring security and privacy, WhatsApp’s image creator will allow you to delete setup photos at any time through the Meta AI settings. Tapping the “Imaging me” button will begin the Meta AI magic on setup photo.
As the function is under development, more updates may arrive before deployment. Once the development phase concludes, testing will take place on the Beta channel. We expect the feature to be rolled out on the Stable channel before July ends.
