More ways to use Meta AI now available for more people

Over the last six months, WhatsApp has supported limited testing for one-on-one and group chats with Meta AI as well as AI sticker creation. We are hard at work expanding the ability for more people to explore all that Meta AI has to offer, from right within WhatsApp. Today, Meta AI received numerous upgrades that we will be introducing gradually, including availability in a dozen countries.

• More Places: Meta AI is currently available in English in the U.S., and we’re now making it available in English in more than a dozen new countries, including Australia, Canada, Ghana, Jamaica, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe - with more to come.
• Search or Ask Meta AI: You can now ask Meta AI a question right from the search feature at top of your chats. Just start typing and Meta AI will provide suggestions for you to choose or you can keep typing to ask a question in full. Answers about sports, entertainment, and current events are provided by leading search providers.
• Images and Video in a flash: You can now imagine an image and have it appear in an instant. Every few letters will help reveal a new image in real time and even provide a video of creation you can share. This technology relies on the very latest image models from Meta AI released today.

In the coming months, we expect to continue to enhance the performance of Meta AI even more and bring new creative capabilities to WhatsApp. While there is much to be excited about, we know that generative AI won’t always be perfect. We’re eager to hear people’s feedback about how it’s working for you. Tag us on Threads to share interesting images or ways you’re using Meta AI on WhatsApp. We would love to hear from you as we continue down this journey together.
