How to access Meta AI
To access the Meta AI feature on WhatsApp, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your Android or iOS smartphone.
Step 2: Check if you see a circular ring on the home screen of the app. If you are using iOS, the ring is displayed at the top before the blue-colored ‘+’ button, while on Android, it is located above the green-colored ‘+’ button. If you see the ring, you already have access to the feature and can proceed to the next step.
Step 3: If you do not see the ring, close WhatsApp, and open the Google Play Store.
Step 4: Search for WhatsApp and check if there is any update available. If there is an update available, tap on Update to install it. Once the update is installed, open the app.
Step 5: Now, you should see the Meta AI button in the same location where the circular ring was supposed to be. Tap on the button to use the feature and ask any queries you may have. You can even use the feature to generate new images.
How to generate AI images
Step 1: Open the Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp.

Step 4: Tap on the send button (an arrow icon) to generate the AI image. The image should be ready in a matter of seconds. You can refer to our example image above to get an idea of what to expect.
