WhatsApp wants to use Meta AI to help you edit photos and more
WhatsApp is already giving you a taste of Meta AI chatbot that can help you create images but soon editing will be also offered.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new update for its AI chatbot, the Meta AI to enhance its photo interaction abilities. The update will allow the Meta AI chatbot to reply to the photos sent by the users and edit them on a prompt.
Meta AI, part of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, presently offers impressive text capabilities such as replying to questions, suggesting captions and having conversations with users.
WABetaInfo spotted the new photo edit feature by Meat AI on the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.14.20 and will most likely be available in the stable version shortly. The messaging app is considering adding a camera button in the Meta AI chatbot, similar to the camera button on regular chats, allowing users to share their pictures with the AI chatbot.
The new feature will let users ask the AI to identify things or locations or provide context for the photo’s content. Furthermore, the functionality will also offer an option to edit photos via a text prompt.
However, it’s still unclear what level of image editing Meta AI can do on WhatsApp. As compared to the existing AI-powered picture editing tools, Meta AI might be able to remove the selected object, remove and replace the backdrop and adjust the image’s look.
As per the screenshots, images uploaded will be analysed by AI and also the users can delete their pictures at any time.
Previous reports suggested that WhatsApp is working on a new ‘Imagine Me’ feature that will allow Meta AI to create AI avatars. The feature was spotted being tested on the Android beta 2.24.14.13 version.
As per the report, WhatsApp will initially ask the user to take a selfie, which will be read and analysed by Meta AI before creating the AI avatar with the appropriate level of accuracy and realism. Also, the users will retain full control over this feature, as they can delete their setup photos at any time through the Meta AI settings.
