With its huge size, AI and all its capabilities are bound to make their way into apps like WhatsApp. This will be an essential aid that can be used on several fronts. The first trials are happening now, with WhatsApp being able to create custom stickers using Meta AI.
WhatsApp already uses Meta AI
The experiences we've seen happen on WhatsApp focus on areas such as its interface or related to user security. These are tests performed in a controlled manner and only a few beta users have access to them to ensure their quality.
One of these tests is now being carried out, but it is for an area that is expected to be part of the future of WhatsApp. We are talking about artificial intelligence and what it will be able to create, whether in conversations, management or simply in the images and posters that we can share.
What is found in the latest Android version of this app shows just that. We now have the possibility to use artificial intelligence to create the labels that the user wants, customized and customized, thus escaping from what is standard and accessible to other users.
Fast custom stickers
This new capability can still be accessed in a limited way and only for some users of the WhatsApp beta program. It will be used by a simple description of what the stickers are for, then the AI will return some suggestions that the user will choose.
These stickers are generated using secure technology provided by Meta. The user will always be in control of their presentation and will be able to report anything they consider inappropriate. Also, what the AI creates will be easy to identify. This means that the recipient can discover these suggestions.
This is an important step that opens the doors of WhatsApp to artificial intelligence, in this case just something as simple as stickers. We will certainly see more adaptation of the use of this technology and what it can offer.
