WhatsApp Now Lets You Create Custom Stickers Using Meta AI
WhatsApp users enjoy using stickers to express themselves and share fun moments with friends. The messaging platform is introducing new ways to enhance the sticker experience, making them more engaging and creative. One exciting addition is the ability to design custom stickers using the Meta AI chatbot directly within the app.
Collaborating with popular platform GIPHY, WhatsApp now allows users to easily search for a wide variety of stickers. By simply tapping the sticker icon and entering text or emoji in the search bar, users can access a vast collection of GIPHY stickers, alongside emoji and GIFs.
Custom Sticker Maker for Android Users
After a long wait, WhatsApp is finally rolling out the custom sticker maker feature to Android users. Previously exclusive to iPhone users, this feature enables users to create, edit, and share personalized stickers using their own photos and more.
The integration of Meta AI for sticker creation is a significant update, allowing users to generate stickers through text prompts provided by the AI chatbot. While this feature is currently available to US users on both iPhone and Android devices, it is undergoing testing in additional countries.
Expanding Meta AI Capabilities
The introduction of Meta AI to WhatsApp is part of a broader strategy to enhance the app's functionality. Beyond sticker creation, the messaging platform is exploring new applications for the AI chatbot, leveraging the advanced Llama 3 AI model.
Future developments may include Meta AI integration for voice interactions, positioning WhatsApp as a robust competitor to voice-enabled platforms like ChatGPT 4. This feature is expected to be available to a global audience at no additional cost, offering millions of users access to advanced AI capabilities.
