WhatsApp is filling up with works with artificial intelligence. The messaging platform is working on integrating tools to edit images with AI, and we will also be able to create stickers with generative AI. Now the company is also developing a tool to generate images that we can use as a profile photo on the platform.
This was revealed by the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, in a discovery by WaBetaInfo. This function will allow you to generate fully personalized images to use them as a profile photo, if we don’t just want to use our own photo or an image that we downloaded from the Internet.
If you don’t know what to use as your profile photo, let AI take care of it
So far we have seen different tools for creating images with generative AI that work through WhatsApp; This is the case of LuzIA, a chatbot created in Europe that can generate illustrations directly in the messaging application.
But Meta intends to take more artificial intelligence tools generative to all its products, that is to say to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The latest Android beta, version 2.23.17.14, gives us a glimpse of how this new tool for creating profile photos works.
In the previous image, shared by WaBetaInfo, we can see the interface of this profile picture creation tool. It asks users to Enter the description of an image, which will serve as a prompt
The feature is not yet available for testing in the WhatsApp beta, so there is no further information available on the results it offers and how accurate it is when following user instructions. However, this function is in development and it is expected to reach registered WhatsApp beta users on Android in the near future, and we hope to see it reach all users of the platform as soon as possible.
The profile photo is an image that allows us to identify ourselves and represent ourselves to our contacts on the messaging platform. This is very important for users, and WhatsApp is aware of this. That is why in addition to this novelty based on AI, the company will also allow you to block screenshots of profile photos, to protect user privacy.
