WhatsApp is now introducing an AI-based tool that lets users create images for their groups and profiles using simple text. This feature was initially introduced for Android, but it is now available to iOS users in the TestFlight beta program (version 25.16.10.70).
No photo? No problem. This feature allows you to create amazing avatars, illustrations, or themed images without uploading your pictures.
Meta AI is the leading technology behind this update on WhatsApp. It reads the text people enter and returns attractive images that express their moods, interests, or preferred style.
You can use Meta AI to quickly find a professional avatar, a unique image for your profile or a group image that fits your interests.
How to Use the AI Profile Picture Feature
Using this tool is easy:
For Profile Pictures
- Open WhatsApp Settings.
- Tap on your current profile photo.
- Select “Generate AI Image”.
- Enter a text prompt.
- WhatsApp will create an image based on your input.
For Group Icons
- Go to the group info screen.
- Tap on the current group image.
- Choose “Generate AI Image”.
- Add a prompt reflecting the group’s theme.
You can set the image or try different variations until you are satisfied.
Who Should Use This Feature?
- Those who prefer privacy and like to show fake pictures.
- Anyone creative or passionate about a specific topic wants to express that feeling or topic.
- Groups of people usually form on WhatsApp when they all share an interest in tech, gaming, food or travel.
- Any business needing a well-done image immediately, without turning to a designer.
While still in testing only, WhatsApp is trying it out with some people to get feedback, and so far, a few iOS users can run the beta.
This AI image generator is useful for iOS users, as it allows them to express themselves by typing a few lines. With it, you can refresh your Facebook profile picture or group image with a short description.
