In the latest version, WhatsApp beta for Android (v2.24.14.13), WhatsApp offers a new optional feature – 'Imagine Me' in the Meta AI chatbot in the Messenger app. WABeta Information informed of.
It should be noted that Meta AI is powered by the latest Llama 3 (Large Language Model Meta AI 3). It is capable of understanding complex user queries and responding with easy-to-understand real-time information.
Meta AI also includes Imagine, a text-to-image generation capability. The Emu image synthesis model powers it. It can help users create almost any creative digital art with just words.
This new feature called Imagine Me allows users to turn their selfies into stickers. It will provide a number of options to make photos enjoyable and creative with fun elements like animation effects, brush painting-like effects, and more.
To activate the new feature, users simply need to type '@Meta AI imagine me' and then allow the MetaAI chatbot to take selfies via WhatsApp.
And, it uses those images to create stickers. They can also be used for display pictures.
