WhatsApp is working on a new AI feature for its platform. The upcoming feature may soon allow users to create AI-generated profile photos on Android smartphones. The feature will allow users to create personalised profile photos based on their interests, personalities and moods. The feature is currently under development and may not be available even to beta testers of the app who have registered through the Google Play Beta Program. However, here you can get an idea of how the feature will look and work on the platform.
As per a report by WABetaInfo, the instant messaging platform is testing an AI Profile Photos feature in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.11.17 update. This feature was reportedly spotted alongside another feature that may allow users to create personalised stickers from descriptions provided by the user using AI.
According to the screenshot by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp users will be required to enter a description of the image they want to generate on a new page called "Create AI Profile Picture." The AI Profile Photos feature will then generate a customised photo based on the description provided. This feature is speculated to help users avoid sharing their actual profile photos, thus reducing the risk of unauthorised usage.
The feature is currently under development and may be available in a future version of WhatsApp for Android. It is one of several new features that the platform is reportedly working on. Another feature being worked on may allow users to enhance their messaging experience by using AI-powered stickers.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is working on a new feature to help users better manage their incoming messages. This feature will be especially useful for those who receive a high volume of messages each day. Currently in the development phase, the feature has been spotted in the Android beta version.
According to a report from WABetaInfo, it will enable users to handle incoming messages more efficiently. Although it has been rolled out to a limited number of users, some users have already started receiving this feature in the WhatsApp Android beta version 2.24.11.13. The report mentions that this feature can be accessed in the notification settings.
