Whatsapp appears to be working on a new generative AI feature that should allow users to make personalized avatars of themselves for use in any imagined setting. The in-development feature, spotted in the new WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.24.14.7 by WABetaInfo<\/em><\/a>, will seemingly use a combination of user-supplied images, text prompts, and Meta\u2019s AI Llama model to generate the images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo says that users can imagine themselves \u201cin any setting from the forest to outer space.\u201d The examples look fairly typical for those produced by AI generators, particularly if you\u2019ve used apps like Lensa AI<\/a> or Snapchat\u2019s \u201cDreams\u201d selfie feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To create the personalized avatar, WhatsApp users will need to \u201ctake photos of yourself once\u201d which will then be used to train Meta AI to produce images in the user\u2019s likeness in any setting. WhatsApp users will then be able to generate their avatars by typing \u201cImagine me\u201d with a description of the setting in Meta AI chat<\/a>, or in other WhatsApp conversations by typing \u201c@Meta AI imagine me…\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The feature will reportedly be optional, and will require users to manually enable it in the WhatsApp settings before it can be used. WABetaInfo<\/em> also says that the reference images can be deleted at any time via the Meta AI settings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
