GoKawiilWhatsApp begins testing Meta AI photo expansion tool on iOS
WhatsApp is rolling out a new AI-powered image expansion feature, letting users expand photos beyond their original borders within the app's drawing editor using Meta AI. The tool is currently limited to select TestFlight beta testers and some users on the public iOS app, and also works with status updates.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The feature mirrors similar AI expansion tools already found in Apple's own photo editor, ChatGPT, and Photoshop, suggesting Meta is working to keep WhatsApp competitive with built-in AI editing capabilities rivals already offer. Its appearance on both Android beta and public iOS builds, according to WABetaInfo, could indicate a wider rollout is approaching, though Meta has not confirmed a timeline.
- WhatsApp's new Extend-like tool uses Meta AI to expand photos beyond their original frame.
- The feature is currently in limited testing via TestFlight and partial public iOS access.
- Its presence on Android beta as well hints at a broader release may be coming soon.
