WhatsApp has launched a very interesting feature with its new update, whose name is – Customize Your Group Icon Instantly. This feature has been officially launched today and through this you can create an AI-generated image for your group chat by just describing it with a few words. It works with the help of Meta AI, which reads the prompts given by you and generates unique and customized images based on them.
What is this feature?
Till now, whenever we used to create a WhatsApp group, for the group icon, we either had to select an existing photo or the default group icon was used. But now WhatsApp has given a new feature using Meta AI in which you can create a customized image for your group by just describing your choice in a few words.
For example, if your group is of school friends and you write School Friends Reunion in the description, then AI will generate some images that will match the theme exactly in appearance.
How does this feature work?
Using this feature is quite simple and anyone can use it without any technical knowledge. You just have to tell the name of your group chat and describe in a few words what type of image you want. Then Meta AI processes your given prompt and gives you many image options from which you can select the image of your choice.
