Meta AI image creation gets a boost
WhatsApp has upgraded its Meta AI image generation capabilities, promising significantly improved image quality. The company says the updates will be particularly useful for creating festive and seasonal images, such as holiday greetings.
Turn photos into short videos
Another new Meta AI feature allows users to animate photos into short videos. By entering prompts or messages, users can transform static images into animated clips directly within the app.
Improved desktop experience
On desktop, WhatsApp is introducing a new media tab that helps users organise documents, links and media across chats. Link previews have also been refined to look cleaner and more informative.
New stickers and interactive features
Status updates are becoming more expressive with the addition of new stickers. Users can add music lyrics, interactive stickers and questions that others can respond to. Channels are also gaining a questions feature, allowing admins to interact with followers and receive responses in real time.
