WhatsApp, the popular messaging app owned by Meta, is set to introduce a new AI-driven feature designed to enhance user personalization. Following previous updates such as design changes, AI-generated stickers, and new tools, the company is now reportedly working on a feature that will allow users to create unique AI-generated profile photos.
A recent report from WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is testing this feature in its latest Android beta update (version 2.24.11.17). The report highlights that WhatsApp is continuing to develop AI capabilities aimed at improving user experience and offering more customization options.
The new feature will allow users to create personalized profile pictures by providing a text prompt. The AI will then generate an image that reflects the user’s personality, interests, or current mood. This feature eliminates the need to search for or take a perfect photo, enabling users to simply generate one based on a description. However, the specific AI model being used has not been revealed, and there is no official timeline for when this feature will be available to the public.
This feature is especially beneficial for users who prefer not to share personal images on social media or WhatsApp due to privacy concerns. With AI-generated photos, users can still have a distinctive digital representation without the risk of image misuse. WhatsApp also includes security measures, such as preventing others from taking screenshots of profile photos, which further enhances privacy.
Although the feature’s release date remains uncertain, users can expect it in future updates as WhatsApp continues to expand its capabilities.
