WhatsApp users can soon get photos edited by Meta AI

AI has officially come to most, if not all aspects of our digital lives. The latest example of this is Meta AI, Meta’s own AI solution that has been deeply integrated with WhatsApp, allowing users to use generative AI perks right from their chat window. Now, WhatsApp is taking this a step ahead with the ability to use Meta AI to edit your photos.

As per a new report by WABetaInfo, the latest WhatsApp beta for Android phones will allow Meta AI to access photos shared by you and edit them. Meta AI can also answer questions around a photograph, like telling you what monument is seen in a travel picture.

WhatsApp photos can soon be edited by Meta AI

The feature will be accessible via a new camera button in the Meta AI chat. This button will work similar to the regular camera button, and allow users to share photos with Meta AI. Meta AI will likely only have access to the photos in this chat, which is great because all your other chats remain free of any AI-related concerns.

While the button is here, the feature is still in development. This means users on WhatsApp Beta cannot use the Meta AI image editing features just yet, and for the rest of us, well, we don’t yet know what the scope of the feature is.

That said, future beta versions of the app, along with beta versions for iPhones will likely have the fully functioning Meta AI ability, and that should come to all of us when the feature reaches the stable channel eventually.

More Meta AI features are likely to also be a part of the AI tool moving forward. With generative AI apps found everywhere, the next major step is making AI easier, more convenient, and one way to do that is by making AI services more accessible. Doing that via communication apps, something Apple Intelligence will also likely bring to the Apple iMessage app, is one of the best implementations.
