WhatsApp is gearing up for a significant artificial intelligence (AI) upgrade with the introduction of new features that enhance the meta-AI integrated into the app. Recently, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform announced the inclusion of innovative image generation capabilities and multilingual support for the app's AI assistant. While these features are accessible on both Android and iOS platforms, they are not yet available worldwide.
New Image Generation Features
The "Imagine Me" feature enables users to click on their photo and generate various AI-generated avatars. This feature is currently in beta testing and is exclusively available in the US. Nonetheless, it is anticipated to be introduced in more countries in the near future.
Multilingual Support
WhatsApp highlighted the addition of multilingual support in its blog post. The Meta AI is currently operational in 22 countries, with plans to expand to additional regions such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Cameroon. Additionally, the chatbot now offers support for several new languages, including French, German, Hindi (both Devanagari and Romanization scripts), Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Further language additions are expected in the months ahead.
Imagine Edit Feature
Another intriguing feature introduced by WhatsApp's Meta AI is "Imagine Edit," allowing users to capture AI-generated images and modify them using text commands. Users can manipulate objects, backgrounds, and more within the images. This feature is currently being rolled out globally.
Exclusive Application Features
WhatsApp users will soon have access to exclusive features within the application, including the Meta Llama 3.1 405B AI model. The company claims that this AI model enhances the processing of complex queries, advanced mathematical problem-solving, and efficient code writing. While the feature is set for global release, an official confirmation from the company is still pending.
