It is the most popular messaging app for millions of users all around the world. And now, WhatsApp may soon receive an AI-powered tool that give users even more ways to communicate. The Meta-owned messaging service is reportedly working on a feature that will allow users to make personalised avatars of themselves in any imagined setting. By uploading a collection of photographs WhatsApp users will be able to train Meta's AI to create realistic digital renders in their likeness. However, early screenshots of the new update bear a striking resemblance to Apple's similar'Image Playground' tool announced last month.
