WhatsApp recently added support for Meta AI, a ChatGPT-like chatbot, that can write stories, explain information, solve math problems, craft messages, and more. It can even recommend reels and generate images. This feature is currently under the testing stage and available only to a handful of users. It is expected to be rolled out gradually to the other users.
What Is Meta AI on WhatsApp
Meta AI is your new smart assistant within WhatsApp. Think of it as a friend who’s always ready to write poems, create funny images, and add humor to your chats. It’s powered by Meta’s latest language model, LLaMA 3, and even collaborates with Bing and Google for up-to-date information. Need links and sources? Meta AI provides those too, ensuring you can trust the information it shares. You can access it directly like chatting with any of your contacts. Also, you can invite Meta AI to your conversations.
Meta AI offers a variety of capabilities that make it a versatile tool for everyday use. Here are some of the main features:
- Story Writing: Craft engaging stories or essays with ease.
- Information Explanation: Get detailed explanations on a wide range of topics.
- Math Problem Solving: Solve complex math problems quickly.
- Message Crafting: Create well-written messages for any occasion.
- Reel Recommendations: Get suggestions for entertaining reels.
- Image Generation: Generate unique images based on your descriptions.
New Meta AI Features on WhatsApp Beta
Currently, these features are available to a limited number of users on the WhatsApp Beta. While promising, they are still in the testing phase, so their full performance and potential are yet to be realized. Here are some of the latest updates you can look forward to:
1. Generate Your AI Avatar:
First, snap a few photos of yourself and upload them to Meta AI. Then, you can ask Meta AI to create images of you in various settings, like lush forests or outer space. You’ll get AI-generated images based on your request. You can also set these images as your profile picture, creating an AI avatar of yourself. This feature is currently available to a few users on the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.13 update and will be released to everyone in future updates.
2. Explain Any Picture:
Ever wondered what’s really happening in a photo? Soon, you’ll be able to upload any picture and ask Meta AI to explain it. It can tell you about objects, scenes, or anything else you’re curious about. It’s like having a guide to decode your photos and help you learn more about them. This feature is being tested in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.20 update and will be available to everyone in future releases.
3. Edit Your Photos Using AI:
WhatsApp is getting ready to let you quickly enhance your photos with Meta AI. Upload a photo, tell Meta AI what you want to change—brightness, filters, or even creative effects—and it transforms your photo easily. You don’t need to be a pro; Meta AI handles it all based on your preferences. However, more details of what you can do and what you cannot is yet to be revealed. This feature is also part of the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.20 update.
WhatsApp’s Deep Dive into AI
WhatsApp is emphasizing AI with its latest features, suggesting even more advancements in future updates. Currently, many users can access Meta AI on WhatsApp, and it works remarkably well. The future enhancements are for the users to make the best of the messaging app, without leaving the app at all.
