META AI AVATAR FROM YOUR PHOTO: HOW IT MIGHT WORK

The tipster has spotted the feature being tested with the Android beta 2.24.14.13 version which will soon be rolled out for the beta testers. As you can see in the image below, the AI generator message shows up with this pop-up that gives you the details about how Meta AI will create your AI avatar.

“This feature allows you to take photos of yourself once, then ask Meta AI to generate AI images of you. To generate an AI image of yourself, type “imagine me..” in your Meta AI chat. You can also use this feature in other chats by typing @metaAI imagine me…,” the message on the app tells you.

WhatsApp will first ask you to click a selfie of yours that will be used to read and analyse before generating the AI avatar with the right level of accuracy and details.

Most people will be triggered by the fact that their photo will be readable to Meta AI for this feature to successfully develop the image but WhatsApp feels assured about its safety aspect. The tipster mentioned that users will retain full control over this feature, as they can delete their setup photos at any time through the Meta AI settings.

But Meta is known for raising its privacy concerns and this AI feature is equally susceptible to possible intrusion. Should that become a worry? The note explains that Meta AI cannot read other messages, as the command is processed separately, and the resulting image message will automatically be shared in the conversation by the app, ensuring that user privacy is always preserved.

More importantly, WhatsApp will not keep the feature enabled by default and will only work after the user gives their consent.
