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

WhatsApp Web Features Update: The latest beta version of WhatsApp’s Android app now supports WhatsApp AI stickers that are generated using prompts. This is the first user-facing feature that uses artificial intelligence on WhatsApp, and 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. In the meantime, WhatsApp Web’s beta version has begun rolling out a security feature for its web interface. Users will be able to guard against unauthorised access to their chats when they are not looking at their screens.

According to information provided by feature tracker WABetaInfo, a very small percentage of testers will be able to make and distribute stickers that are generated using AI after updating to WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.17.14. By tapping the new Create button on the stickers tab, the new feature may be accessed.

According to the feature tracker, users who test out the new functionality will receive a pop-up box labelled Create Al stickers and have the option to provide a question in the field labelled Describe your sticker. A sample prompt with the wording “cat laughing on a skateboard” and the generated sticker is displayed in the centre of the screen. Examples of created stickers are not present in the image that WABetalnfo supplied.

As of late, WhatsApp Web 2.2333.11 beta has added a new security feature to the well-known messaging app. Users who are using this version will be able to set a password to prevent unauthorised users from accessing WhatsApp’s online interface. If users want to restore access to the web interface, they must either remember their password or log out of WhatsApp Web and log back on.

The ability to enable the password may be found under a new settings option under WhatsApp Settings > Privacy. This security feature is currently rolling out to some testers using the most recent beta version of WhatsApp Web. According to the feature tracker, once the passWord is configured, users will have to input it each time they want to access their chats, and push alerts won’t be seen until it is unlocked.
