WhatsApp is testing an AI-powered photo expansion tool that allows users to extend images beyond their original borders. The feature, currently rolling out to select users, appears in the photo editor when a photo is selected. Meta AI analyzes the image and generates an expanded version, compatible with status updates.
Users can undo and retry if unsatisfied. The tool is available on iOS via Test Flight and some public iOS builds, as well as the Android beta. While the exact release timeline remains unclear, broader availability seems imminent given the existing beta access.
The feature mirrors capabilities found in ChatGPT and Photoshop, offering a native editing experience within the messaging app. Select users can now enhance their photos with AI-generated extensions directly in WhatsApp.
