Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, is introducing its advanced artificial intelligence feature, Meta AI, to enhance the messaging app’s capabilities.
The gradual rollout of the new feature is under way, enabling WhatsApp users worldwide to experience its benefits.
Similar to ChatGPT or Copilot, Meta AI allows users to generate text, create images, ask questions, request jokes, and even produce animated images, all within the WhatsApp platform. This feature can be accessed through a dedicated chatbot or within personal and group chats.
Meta AI is only available to a limited number of users and exclusively in English. Initially capable of generating static images, the new feature can now animate those generated images to create GIFs.
The following steps explain how to animate Meta AI images into GIFs on WhatsApp:
Users cannot directly request Meta AI to generate a GIF. Instead, they would need to provide a prompt for an image first. Once the image is generated, they can ask for animation.
The parent company would soon allow users the ability to delete specific chats or request the removal of previously shared data with Meta AI.
Regarding privacy, it is important to understand that while standard WhatsApp conversations benefit from end-to-end encryption, interactions with Meta AI do not possess this security feature.
