WhatsApp to soon allow users to create AI-generated profile pictures:
Another recent report from WABetainfo had revealed that WhatsApp could soon introduce a feature that will allow users to generate images using AI and use them as their profile picture. The feature was first spotted in the WhatsApp beta update for Android version 2.24.11.17.
