WhatsApp for Android is testing a new feature that replaces generic avatars in group chats with circular icons displaying the members' initials if they haven't chosen a profile picture. This makes it easier for users to identify each other, even if their profile pictures are not visible. The feature is currently being rolled out to beta testers and is expected to be available to all users soon.
TikTok is testing a new feature that allows users to create AI-generated avatars for their profile pictures. The feature is still in the early stages of testing and not widely available to TikTok users. The new option appears to create a stylized, illustrated image of the user based on an uploaded picture. However, some tools have raised concerns among privacy experts, digital artists, and users who have noticed the potential to sexualize images, make skin paler and make bodies thinner.
TikTok is reportedly working on a feature that will allow users to create AI-generated profile pictures. The tool asks users to submit three to ten photos and then pick from two to five different styles for the eventual AI-made photos. Once generated, users can download them, set one as their avatar, or post one to their TikTok story. The feature is expected to be popular among users who want to create creative avatars of themselves.
