Meta AI goes global and brings new features to WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook

If you’ve ever daydreamed about seeing yourself as royalty, a 3D sticker, or with a wild new hairstyle, Meta AI’s got you covered. Just type “Imagine me” in a chat with Meta AI to kick things off.

After a quick setup, you can prompt it with something like “Imagine me with an ostrich,” and voilà, Meta AI will whip up an image of you in that scene. You can reset or delete your setup photos anytime. This feature is currently in beta in the US, with more languages and countries on the horizon.Soon, you will be able to share images made with Meta AI directly to your posts, too. Meta is rolling out this feature, allowing you to create pictures, right within the feed, stories, comments, and messages across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. This will be available in English starting this week.

By rolling out new Meta AI creative tools and expanding availability in seven new languages and more countries, Meta shows that AI is a major focus right now. However, I think these AI features could potentially add to the confusion and disinformation on social media platforms.

Previously, Meta promised to label AI-generated content, but this feature isn’t widely available yet. The AI label only appears if Meta detects industry-standard AI image indicators or if users disclose they upload AI-generated content, meaning many images might go unlabeled.
