The popular messenger has begun testing an innovative feature that allows users to edit photos and get information about them using Meta AI artificial intelligence.
Beta Testing and Functionality
The new feature, reported by WABetaInfo, has been spotted in the latest beta version of WhatsApp 2.24.14.20 for Android. With its help, users will be able to upload photos to a chat with AI from Meta, which will be able to analyze the images and answer additional questions about these images. For example, you can ask the AI to identify objects in a photo or explain its meaning. In addition, AI will be able to quickly edit images based on text queries entered into the chat. While it’s unclear at this point how extensive the editing capabilities will be, WABetaInfo notes that the new feature will “add convenience to the user experience” and help people save time.
Privacy and Future Developments
For users who are concerned about privacy, WhatsApp has provided the ability to delete uploaded photos at any time, notes NIX Solutions. Apart from this, Meta is also developing an AI-powered avatar generator that will allow users to create their images in different backgrounds and styles, sources previously said. The new AI photo editing feature is still in testing and is only available in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android. The timing of its launch for all users without restrictions has not yet been announced, but we’ll keep you updated on any new developments.
