WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.15.7: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new Android update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.25.15.7.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on a feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI, and it will be available in a future update!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.9.8 update, we announced that a feature to generate AI-powered profile photos using Meta AI was available. This feature allows some users to generate personalized profile images through a text prompt. Rather than relying on existing photos, users can describe the kind of image they want, enabling Meta AI to create avatars, artistic portraits, or themed pictures based on their input. It also seems that WhatsApp is developing new AI-powered tools to further enhance user convenience through the image generation process. Following the release of the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.15.7 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a feature that will allow users to generate wallpapers for their conversations, scheduled for release in a future update. This feature leverages the generative capabilities of Meta AI to create wallpapers that automatically adapt to the dimensions of the device screen. Users will be able to access this functionality directly from the chat theme settings. Additionally, it will be possible to generate wallpapers for all conversations globally or for individual chats, giving users a high degree of customization. In both cases, a dedicated option will be visible that allows users to create a wallpaper using AI.

Once accessed, the main interface will showcase a set of recommended AI-generated wallpapers. However, users can generate new wallpapers starting from a simple text prompt. Meta AI will then produce a set number of wallpaper variations based on the provided description. Users can scroll through the generated images and either select one they like or modify the prompt to generate more options. This part of the experience will give users significant control over the result, as they can choose to confirm the selected wallpaper or further refine the image by adding details or changes through an additional prompt. This iterative approach will ensure the final result closely matches the user's creative vision since each step allows for greater personalization and fine-tuning of the generated image.

Generating a wallpaper with AI will be particularly useful for users who want a personalized design for their chats that enhances their messaging experience. This option can be especially helpful when users are unsure which wallpaper to choose from the default selection offered by WhatsApp, as it allows them to generate something entirely unique. Users who already have a specific idea in mind for their wallpaper and want the AI to assist in bringing that vision to life can simply describe their concept through a text prompt and let Meta AI create tailored results based on their input. In addition, it will enable users to improve upon the initial AI-generated wallpaper by making further refinements or enhancements, ensuring the final result is perfectly aligned with their preferences.

A feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI is under development and it will be available in a future update. We will keep you updated with an additional article as soon as we have more details to share about this feature.
