AI-POWERED IMAGES
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.11.17 update, we announced that WhatsApp was working on a feature to generate AI-powered profile photos. Through this feature, WhatsApp likely aims to provide users with a more personalized way to express themselves, particularly benefiting those who are unsure of which photo to use. Although this feature is in development and its release is still uncertain, it seems WhatsApp is committed to introducing more AI-powered features designed to enhance the messaging experience. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.12.4 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to quickly create AI-powered images!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a new shortcut within the chat attachment sheet to help users quickly create AI-powered images, set for release in a future update. This feature will use Meta AI, an intelligent assistant capable of complex reasoning, following instructions, visualizing ideas, and solving nuanced problems. It is worth noting that Meta AI is currently available in specific countries and select users, so this shortcut will initially be accessible only to those who already have access to Meta AI, with potential for broader availability in future updates.
In our opinion, a shortcut to quickly create AI-powered images offers several advantages in generating such photos using a prompt, saving users time and effort, especially for those who frequently communicate using images. We also believe it can promote creativity by providing users with instant access to personalized and unique image generation, inspiring imagination in certain situations. Currently, users can create images directly within the Meta AI chat or via a command within their group chats. With an upcoming update, a shortcut will promptly appear within the chat attachment sheet, simplifying access to this feature and enhancing user experience.
A feature to quickly create AI-powered images is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. We will share another article once we have new information about this feature.
