WhatsApp is developing a highly anticipated feature that will allow iOS users to generate AI-powered chat wallpapers with Meta AI.
Spotted in the latest iOS beta version 25.15.10.70 via the TestFlight app, the feature leverages generative AI to create personalized wallpapers from simple text prompts, taking the visual attractiveness of chats to the next level.
Initially unveiled in the Android beta (v2.25.15.7), the functionality enables users to apply wallpapers globally across all chats or on a per-conversation level.
Meta AI will generate various image variations based on a user’s input, which are displayed in a scrollable preview UI.
Users can tune the result by modifying their prompt or requesting additional variants, with creative control and an authentically personalized result.
This back-and-forth design process will allow for enhancements like color changes, added features, or more subtle details.
The feature remains under development but ought to be released in a future iOS update.
As WhatsApp continues to evolve its AI capabilities, users can expect more interactive and customized messaging experiences down the line.
