WhatsApp Brings AI-Generated Stickers to Beta Testers

The latest WhatsApp beta v2.23.17.14 for Android phones brings a new AI feature to the platform that allows users to create AI-generated stickers. 

We’ve got some exciting news for you that’s going to make your chats even more fun and expressive. WhatsApp is taking things up with a super cool feature – AI-Generated Stickers! The feature is currently available to a limited number of beta testers through the Google Play Beta Program.

The stickers are said to be easily recognizable and recipients may be informed when they see one that an AI model whipped up. As WABetaInfo notes, you can report any stickers you deem to be harmful or inappropriate to Meta.

This is not the first time that WhatsApp has used AI to improve its features. In 2020, the company introduced a feature that allows users to search for stickers using text-based commands. And in 2021, WhatsApp added a feature that allows users to create animated stickers.

The addition of AI-generated stickers is another way that WhatsApp is trying to stay ahead of the competition. Other messaging apps like Telegram and Signal also offer custom sticker features. By adding AI-generated stickers, WhatsApp is hoping to offer users a more creative and expressive way to communicate.
