WHATSAPP IS WORKING ON AI-POWERED EDITING TOOLS AND OTHER FEATURES

Thu 28 March 2024:

It has been revealed that WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will use generative AI. Users will be able to alter their photographs with an AI-powered editing tool in the near future. It’s speculated that the tool will let users swiftly alter the background, style, or ‘expand’ an image using artificial intelligence.

The company is also developing a new feature that will enable customers to query the company’s Meta AI service directly.

As per a report by WABetaInfo, the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.13 update contains code for an AI-powered image editor. The publication also shared a screenshot of the early version of the feature. As seen in the screenshot, there is a green icon located at the top, to the left of the HD icon. Tapping it displays three options: Backdrop, Restyle, and Expand. Since the feature is still being developed, it is currently unclear what each of these features does.

In addition to this, the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.7.14) includes a new feature discovered by WABetaInfo. This version of WhatsApp Beta allows users to ask questions to Meta AI, the company’s generative AI assistant for Meta products, using the search bar at the top of the app. Meta AI is designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

You won’t be able to test out the following features even after updating to the most recent version of the app because they are currently under development. Before being made available to testers on the beta channel and subsequently to all users, these features are anticipated to go through additional development and improvement.

It is expected that iOS users will also have access to these services, ensuring that the feature set across both mobile platforms is the identical.
