WhatsApp Rolls Out AI Upgrades: AI-Generated Group Icons & Meta AI Chatbot Widget
WhatsApp is currently testing two new AI-powered features in the latest beta versions for Android users. These features include an AI-generated group icon feature and a home screen widget for Meta AI chatbot access. The tech giant plans to roll out both features to all Android and iOS users in the near future.
AI-Generated Group Icons
In the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.25.6.10), select users now have the ability to create custom group icons using AI. By choosing a group's existing icon and then selecting the pencil icon, a new option labeled "Create AI Image" becomes available. Users can input a prompt, and Meta AI will then generate multiple image options for users to select from, allowing for seamless customization.
Meta AI Chatbot Widget
The WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.25.6.14) introduces a new home screen widget that enables users to quickly access the Meta AI chatbot without having to open the app. This enhancement allows users to interact with the AI directly from their device's home screen, streamlining the user experience.
WeBetaInfo originally reported on these new features and updates, detailing the potential for personalized AI chatbots and improved emoji reactions within the app. While these features are currently only accessible to beta testers, they are expected to be rolled out to all users in the coming updates.
WhatsApp continues to prioritize enhancing its AI capabilities, providing users with more personalized experiences and convenient access to AI-powered tools. Stay tuned for the official release of these exciting new features!
