WhatsApp has officially launched a new feature that lets users generate their chat wallpapers, using artificial intelligence (AI).
Meta-owned instant messaging platform revealed that after updating WhatsApp for iOS to the latest version, users can create their chat backgrounds using prompts, then make changes or adjustments before setting it as their chat wallpaper.
On the other hand, the feature is also available to beta testers on WhatsApp for Android. WhatsApp is also working on other features, including the ability to view message replies in the form of a structured thread.
How to use WhatsApp AI-powered chat wallpaper feature?
- After updating to WhatsApp for iOS 25.19.75 via the App Store, some users will see a new “Create with AI” option after navigating to Settings > Chats > Default chat theme > Chat theme.
- After a few seconds, Meta AI will showcase users with multiple AI-generated images that they can browse by swiping on the previews at the bottom.
- Users can also opt for adjustments by tapping the Make changes button at the bottom of the screen.
- After the desired wallpaper has been selected, WhatsApp will allow users to adjust its position, before tapping the Set button.
It is worth noting that the AI-generated images are created based on the user's prompt, but it sometimes ignores instructions to use certain colours or add certain elements.
