Meta AI for WhatsApp: More languages, more countries, more features

On the official WhatsApp blog the company explains that Meta AI is now available in 22 countries. New additions include Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Cameroon. A number of new languages ​​are also now supported, including French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish; and more are to follow. However, users in Germany and Europe may have to wait a little longer before they can use Meta AI and its features here. Although Meta AI was due to come to Germany in June, Meta has put the launch on hold for the time being. The reason for this is that the company stopped the opt-out process regarding data sharing for AI training due to complaints from data protection groups and as a result Meta AI – which is difficult to optimize without sufficient user data, according to Meta – will not be launched in Europe yet.

The new feature options include the Imagine Edit and Imagine Yourself functions. With Imagine Edit, users can have an image created via a prompt and add to, animate or reduce it according to their own wishes (initially only in English).

With Imagine Yourself, users can use pictures of themselves as a basis to have themselves portrayed in various image contexts, for example in a retro ski outfit or with specific tattoos.

However, this feature is currently only available as a beta version in the USA. Meta plans to provide updates for Meta AI more frequently in the future. However, it is not yet clear whether the functions can be used in Germany in the near future.
