WhatsApp launches AI-powered wallpaper feature for iOS users

Move aims to bring iOS users on par with Android users in terms of customization options, provides a consistent experience across platforms

SAN FRANCISCO: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 8th, 2025) WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to create custom chat wallpapers using artificial intelligence (AI), marking another step in enhancing user personalization on the platform.

Initially launched for beta users on iOS, the feature is now being gradually rolled out to a wider audience via the App Store. The move aims to bring iOS users on par with Android users in terms of customization options, providing a consistent experience across platforms.

With the new AI-powered wallpaper tool, users can generate unique chat backgrounds simply by typing a text prompt. No design skills are required; users just need to describe the type of image they want, and Meta AI will transform their input into visual wallpapers.

To access the feature, the users need to open the wallpaper settings within any chat.

A new option powered by Meta AI will appear, allowing them to create wallpapers through a prompt-based interface. Once a description is entered, the AI generates multiple image options, from which users can select one to set as their chat background.

The feature is part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to integrate AI tools into its ecosystem, and offers users more creative control and enhances their overall messaging experience.
