WhatsApp Beta Adds Screen Lock for Web Interface, Tests Support for AI-Generated Stickers on Android

WhatsApp beta updates typically add new features or improve existing ones for testers to try out before they are rolled out to users on the stable channel, and the company has added support for WhatsApp AI stickers that are generated using prompts on the latest beta version of its Android app — this is the first user facing feature that uses artificial intelligence on WhatsApp. Meanwhile, the beta version of WhatsApp Web has started pushing out a security feature for its web interface. It will allow users to prevent unauthorised access to their chats when they are away from their screen.

After updating to WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.17.14, a very limited number of testers will be able to create and share stickers that are generated using AI, according to details shared by feature tracker WABetaInfo. The new feature is located in the stickers tab, and can be launched by tapping the new Create button.

The feature tracker explains that users who try the new feature will see a pop-up window titled Create AI stickers and users can enter a prompt in the field with the text Describe your sticker. A sample prompt is shown in the middle of the screen with the text “cat laughing on a skateboard” along with the resulting sticker. The image shared by WABetaInfo does not show examples of generated stickers.
