AI-powered profile image generation is coming to Instagram - Neowin
Instagram is testing a new AI-powered feature that will allow users to create AI-generated profile images directly within the app. This new feature aims to simplify the process of generating artistic and stylized profile pictures without the need for third-party services.
The feature, first spotted by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, is currently being tested on Instagram. Users will be able to access this AI profile image generation feature through the profile editing option on the app. While this may be a new addition for Instagram, other social media platforms like Snapchat and TikTok already offer similar AI-generated image creation options.
Instagram's parent company, Facebook, is also experimenting with an AI-powered profile image generation feature. However, Instagram may be the first to roll out this feature to its users before Facebook.
To create an AI profile picture on Instagram, users can simply navigate to their profile page, click on "Edit Profile," and then select the "Edit Picture" option. Here, they will find a new "Create an AI profile picture" option that will transform their image into a stylized AI version. It is currently unclear whether users will be able to choose an image from their phone's gallery for this feature or if it is limited to the existing profile picture.
Other Instagram Features in Development
Aside from AI-powered profile image generation, Instagram is also working on other features. One recent discovery suggests that the platform is testing a feature that will allow content creators to filter direct messages based on verified accounts, businesses, creators, and subscribers.
Overall, Instagram's exploration of AI technology for profile image creation reflects the platform's commitment to enhancing user experiences and providing innovative tools for self-expression.
