An upcoming update is set to change how people use images on the platform.

To make using WhatsApp even better, the popular messaging app is about to introduce amazing AI-based image editing tools.

Meta, which owns WhatsApp, first suggested adding these features to its platforms, like Facebook and Instagram. Now, it seems WhatsApp will be the next to adopt this advanced technology.

The upcoming update will change how people use images on WhatsApp. New features like restyling images, text-to-image backgrounds, and expanded picture backgrounds will let users get creative and personalize their media-sharing experiences.

The idea for this innovative feature comes from Meta’s focus on using AI for image editing, which they’ve already implemented on other platforms they own. By bringing these features to WhatsApp, Meta shows they’re committed to providing a smooth and enhanced user experience across all their services.

Those familiar with the development have shared that the newest beta version of WhatsApp is already displaying early versions of these AI-powered improvements. Features like Backdrop, Restyle, and Expand in the image editor suggest a big step forward in WhatsApp’s capabilities.

The Backdrop feature lets users turn text prompts into attractive background images, while Restyle enables them to change images using visual effects suggested by text prompts. Additionally, the Expand option allows users to effortlessly enlarge images, making them more visually appealing.

While there’s a lot of excitement about these AI editing tools, their full capabilities are still a mystery, as reports suggest they’re not yet fully operational. However, the mere idea of having these tools integrated into WhatsApp has generated excitement among users around the globe.

Apart from these game-changing features, WhatsApp is also focusing on complying with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires interoperability with third-party chat apps.

Progress on this front has been slow but recent insights indicate that WhatsApp is preparing the foundation for smooth integration with other messaging platforms.
