WhatsApp is constantly evolving and introducing new features to enhance user experience. Recently, a new generative AI feature has been spotted in the WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.24.14.7. This feature aims to allow users to create personalized avatars of themselves for use in various settings.
The upcoming generative AI feature in WhatsApp will utilize a combination of user-supplied images, text prompts, and Meta’s AI Llama model to generate personalized avatar images. Users will have the freedom to imagine themselves in settings ranging from a forest to outer space.
To create their personalized avatars, WhatsApp users will be required to take photos of themselves once. These images will then be used to train Meta AI to generate avatar images that resemble the user in any chosen setting. By typing “Imagine me” with a description of the desired setting in Meta AI chat or “@Meta AI imagine me…” in WhatsApp conversations, users will be able to generate their personalized avatars.
It is important to note that the generative AI feature for personalized avatars will be optional for WhatsApp users. Users will need to manually enable the feature in WhatsApp settings before being able to use it. Additionally, reference images used for generating avatars can be deleted at any time via Meta AI settings.
As of now, there is no specific timeline provided for the general availability of the new Imagine AI selfie feature. WhatsApp is currently in the process of rolling out support for its Meta AI chatbot and real-time AI image generation for users in the US. Hence, it may take some time before the AI avatar feature is officially launched to all users.
While the new generative AI feature in WhatsApp shows great potential for creating personalized avatars, it is essential for Meta to take a cautious approach in its development and deployment. By addressing any potential issues and ensuring a seamless user experience, WhatsApp can successfully introduce this innovative feature to its users in the near future.
