With the most recent Android beta version, WhatsApp introduced a new feature that with the help of Meta AI, allows WhatsApp to create AI-powered wallpapers for chat. A limited number of beta testers running version 2.25.19.11 can currently access the feature; wider availability is anticipated in the upcoming weeks.
Users can now use AI to create eccentric backgrounds through the chat theme settings, that is where you can access the new wallpaper function. Users can do this individually for certain talks or globally across all chats.
Once you go the setting of wallpaper, quite a lot of options for AI-generated wallpaper are displayed. These recommendations are meant to provide users with a starting point by demonstrating the capabilities of the feature.
Custom text prompts can also be entered for users who like greater design control. After processing these prompts, Meta AI uses the user’s description to create wallpapers. With additional prompts, the created images can be examined, improved, and regenerated.
With this update, WhatsApp users should no longer be limited to using the app’s default grid of wallpapers and themes or their media gallery for creating new wallpapers. However, WhatsApp is aiming to expand the selection of chat themes that are available by default.
Although the feature is currently being made available to beta testers, not all users may be able to access it right once. Access is being progressively extended by WhatsApp, and some testers who are using older versions might also get the capability.
As of right now, there is no indication on when the stable version of the app will include this feature.
