According to the report, the feature will be based on the AI
algorithm that is aimed at making it easier for users to edit photos and also
offers a host of editing options for users. This includes features like
altering the background, refining styles and expanding the dimensions of the
image.
As per the screenshots shared, the feature will appear at
the top of the image-sharing page which features neatly integrated with a new
icon in the form of a drop-down menu. Tapping on the new editing option will
bring up the three options -- Expand, Refine and Backdrop.
The new option is placed on the left side of the ‘HD’ icon
at the top and it looks like a green beckon.
About the rollout, the feature is currently in the
development phase and it is expected to be introduced soon -- first in the beta
release and eventually in the stable version of the messaging app. That said,
there’s no details available on when exactly WhatsApp is planning to introduce
the feature.
In other news, WhatsApp is also planning to introduce ‘Ask
Meta’ integration within the messaging platform. The beta version 2.24.7.14
includes this feature and users can ask queries to Meta AI using the search bar
at the top of the app.
