WhatsApp Develops AI Photo Making Feature In Chat Room

JAKARTA Meta continues to add Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based features to WhatsApp. Reportedly, this messaging platform will get a new feature to create AI images in the chat room. Found first by WABetaInfo, this new feature is already visible in WhatsApp beta version 2.24.12.4 for Android devices. This Imagine-named feature is supported by Meta AI, a smart assistant developed by Meta. It should be noted that Meta AI is not yet available across the country. This AI-based assistant can only be accessed by certain users. Therefore, not all users registered in the beta version can use this feature. From the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, users can access the Imagine feature by clicking the attachment icon in the chat room. Features with ring-shaped and gradient-colored icons are placed alongside the Event feature.

When the feature is clicked, users can create AI images quickly. Unfortunately, it is not yet known how the appearance of the Imagine feature page will look. This feature is also still being developed and it is not yet known when it will be rolled out to the public version. This is not the first AI feature Meta is trying to present on WhatsApp. On the beta update version 2.24.11.17, Meta is seen launching the AI Profile Photo Maker feature. As the name implies, this feature will help users in producing AI-based profile photos. How to use AI and Imagine Profile Photomakers may not be much different. Users only need to enter the command and wait for Meta AI to create photos. When the results appear, users may be able to use the photo directly.
