Imagine a world where you can create your own personalized stickers on WhatsApp, using the power of artificial intelligence. This is no longer a mere figment of imagination, but a reality that’s currently being tested by Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp.
The news comes from WABetaInfo, a reliable source for WhatsApp updates. A select group of users, part of the Google Play Beta Program, are the lucky ones to first experience this feature. Meta is expected to expand this feature to a wider audience in the coming weeks. The process of creating these custom stickers is quite straightforward. Users who are part of the test will find a ‘Create’ button in the sticker tab when they open their keyboard. This is where the magic happens. You simply describe the sticker you want, and the AI takes over, generating a variety of stickers based on your description. You can then pick your favorite one and share it in your chats.
The AI-generated stickers are designed to be easily identifiable. When a recipient receives one of these stickers, they may be notified that it was created by an AI model. Meta has not yet clarified this aspect, and Engadget has reached out for more information. The introduction of AI-generated stickers is part of a broader trend of incorporating generative AI into mainstream apps. This feature could revolutionize the way we communicate on WhatsApp, making chats more personalized and reducing the reliance on overused stickers, GIFs, and meme images. It’s not just WhatsApp that’s getting this upgrade. Reports suggest that Instagram and Messenger are also set to introduce similar features. This move by Meta is a clear indication of how AI is becoming an integral part of our digital communication, making it more interactive, personalized, and fun.
