WhatsApp’s latest beta release for Android introduces a generative AI feature that allows users to create custom group chat icons. This functionality, powered by Meta AI, is currently limited to group chats and does not extend to profile pictures for one-on-one chats. Users in the WhatsApp beta release channel can utilize this feature, and all group members will see the newly generated icons. Additionally, the AI can assist in settling debates, providing ideas for gatherings, and generating fun images within group chats. More features may be introduced in the future.
WhatsApp is enhancing its features with more AI capabilities. The newest beta version for Android includes a feature that allows generative AI to create icons for your group chats. Interestingly, this functionality is exclusively for group chat icons—you won’t be able to generate images for your profile picture in one-on-one conversations.
Maybe this feature will be introduced in the future. For now, if you’re part of the WhatsApp for Android beta release channel, the latest update should activate the group chat icon generation feature, as depicted in the images below.
This feature is powered by Meta AI, which is also accessible in group chats to “help resolve disputes”, offer “ideas for your next event”, or “create entertaining images”.
While you might need the latest beta version to create the AI-generated group chat icons, it’s worth noting that everyone in the group will see the icon once it’s been generated.
