WhatsApp for iOS 25.19.75: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new iOS update through the App Store, bringing the version up to 25.19.75.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI, and it's available to some users!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.15.10.70 update, we announced that a feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers was under development. This feature is powered by Meta AI and would allow users to create personalized wallpapers through a simple and intuitive process. Whether for all chats or individual conversations, these wallpapers can help users craft unique visual backgrounds that reflect their style and preferences. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to offer iOS users the same the custom AI wallpaper functionality as it already does for the Android version, aiming to provide a consistent experience across both platforms. Following the release of the latest WhatsApp for iOS 25.19.75 update, which is available on the App Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, some users can now explore a new feature that allows them to generate custom chat wallpapers using Meta AI, offering a more creative and personalized way to style their conversations. To get started, users can access the wallpaper customization section within the chat theme settings. From there, they will see a new option to create a wallpaper using Meta AI. Tapping this option opens a prompt field where users can describe the kind of image they want. Users can enter simple or imaginative text prompts, such as a llama on a balloon or a futuristic neon cityscape. Meta AI will then interpret the prompt and generate several wallpaper variations based on the description. These generated wallpapers are displayed in a scrollable interface, allowing users to preview them with ease.

Users can browse through the available results and tap on one to see how it would look as a chat background. If none of the images match their expectations, they can either rephrase their original prompt or ask Meta AI to generate a new batch of results. Changing the prompt allows users to refine the theme, composition, or elements of the image. This iterative process helps ensure that the final result better aligns with their creative intent, as each adjustment may bring the generated wallpaper closer to their desired vision.

Once a wallpaper is selected, users aren't limited to simply applying it in its original form. Meta AI also offers a refinement option, which allows users to apply specific adjustments to the selected image. For example, they can request changes like altering the color palette, adding or removing certain elements, or enhancing visual details. This refinement step gives users even more control, letting them further personalize the wallpaper to suit their aesthetic preferences. After finalizing the design, the new wallpaper can be applied either globally to all chats and channels or assigned to a specific conversation for a more tailored experience.

A feature to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers using Meta AI is available to some users who install the latest versions of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming weeks.
