WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature in its latest iOS update, version 25.19.75, which is now available on the App Store. This update introduces AI-powered chat wallpapers run by Meta AI, which allows users to create personalised and unique backgrounds for their chats.
This feature, which is already available on Android, brings a consistent experience for iOS users. It lets users generate custom chat wallpapers through simple text prompts describing the kind of image they want. For example, users can enter simple or imaginative text prompts, such as a llama on a balloon or a futuristic neon cityscape, and Meta AI will interpret the prompt and generate several wallpaper variations based on the description. These generated wallpapers are displayed in a scrollable interface, allowing users to preview them with ease, WhatsApp said in a blog post.
How to use –
To use this new feature, iOS users can go to the wallpaper customisation section within the chat theme settings. Here, they will get the option to create a wallpaper using Meta AI. Once the prompt is entered, a variety of wallpapers will be generated and displayed in a scrollable interface, making it easy to preview the different options.
If any generated images do not meet their preferences, the users can rewrite their prompt or ask the meta AI to generate a new batch of designs. This recurrence process allows users to refine the theme, composition, and other image elements until they get the perfect wallpapers that match their style.
After choosing a wallpaper, users can further personalise it using the refinement tool. This option allows them to adjust aspects such as the color palette, add or remove elements, or enhance visual details to suit their aesthetic preferences, the messaging platform informed through a blog post.
Once finalised, custom wallpapers can be applied globally across all chats or assigned to specific conversations, letting users customise their chat experience.
Currently, the AI-powered chat wallpaper feature is being rolled out gradually and is available to some users who have updated WhatsApp for iOS. It is expected to reach more users in the coming weeks.
