Enhanced Capabilities

This latest update brings a host of new capabilities to Meta AI on WhatsApp. Users can now benefit from features such as image editing, where the AI can assist in background removal or replacement, object removal, and even generate similar AI images.

Unlike other AI models that often require a subscription for access to similar functionalities, WhatsApp users can enjoy these features without any cost.
