Meta AI to Enable Text-Prompt Wallpaper Design in WhatsApp

WhatsApp is set to enhance its customisation options by introducing a new feature powered by Meta AI, allowing users to generate personalised chat wallpapers using simple text prompts.

Currently, WhatsApp lets users select photos or solid colors for their chat backgrounds, but the upcoming update will take personalisation a step further.

According to update tracker WABetaInfo, this feature is still under development and expected to roll out soon.

Leveraging Meta’s generative AI, the new tool will create unique wallpapers based on user inputs, offering greater creative freedom.

This will enable users to design backgrounds that reflect various moods, themes, or relationships, enriching their messaging experience.

The generated wallpapers can be applied across all chats or customised for individual conversations, giving users more control over their chat aesthetics.

Prompt Refinement Allows for Optimal Customisation

The new feature will be available through WhatsApp’s chat theme settings, allowing users to explore AI-generated design suggestions or create custom wallpapers by entering text prompts.

The AI will automatically adjust the generated images to fit the dimensions of the user’s device, ensuring optimal display quality.

Additionally, the feature will offer users the ability to refine their prompts, enabling adjustments to achieve more accurate or visually appealing results.

This level of creative flexibility contrasts with WhatsApp's traditional wallpaper options, which are more restrictive.

According to reports, the feature will be especially beneficial for users seeking unique chat backgrounds that reflect their personal style, offering an alternative to the default wallpaper selection.
