CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): WhatsApp has introduced a new AI Image Generator for Status Updates.
This AI-powered tool enables users to create and share custom visuals based entirely on text prompts, said WABetaInfo in a recent update.
The tool, which is powered by Meta’s generative AI technology, is currently available to select users on iOS and Android, with a wider release likely in the coming days.
WhatsApp’s integration of AI-driven tools
This feature reflects a significant advancement in WhatsApp’s ongoing integration of AI-driven tools aimed at making the messaging experience more creative and dynamic.
The feature, called “Generate AI-powered images for status updates,” enables users to simply input a description, such as “a serene beach at sunset” or “a neon skyline at night,” and the AI will produce multiple visual interpretations for users to choose from.
Meta’s newly introduced update builds on WhatsApp’s earlier AI wallpaper generator, which allowed users to design customized chat backgrounds using Meta AI prompts.
This tool enables users to design wallpapers like “snowy mountains under a starry sky” or “vintage café interior” directly from text, enhancing their conversations with unique visuals.
The same feature is now available on WhatsApp status to let users express their feelings with their contacts.
Instead of depending on photos or short videos, users can now frame imaginative, story-like updates that echo their moods, thoughts, or creativity.
The update on the AI Status image generation tool is limited only to the rollout phase, available only for a few users who have updated to the latest WhatsApp version on iOS or Android.
Users who do not experience the feature yet can expect it to appear in the coming days as WhatsApp continues to expand access globally.
