WhatsApp’s New AI Photo Editing Tools Arrive
Nowadays, AI is at the top of the technology improvements that are being used in every newly developed feature. There are multiple big players already active in this field, so to keep the platform up-to-date, WhatsApp also brought AI-powered capabilities for its users for enhancing photo editing.
The new AI feature will provide the ability for users to generate personalized stickers using prompts. According to the information, the upcoming update will provide a tool to apply various artistic effects to their photos.
Along with this, users will get a backdrop feature that allows them to remove the background from their photos. Additionally, the “restyle” feature will provide users with tools to transform the style of their photos, which gives some color enhancements a fresh and artistic look. To increase the size of photos, you can also use the expand feature, so you can easily set your photos to a certain size as required.
With these new features, WhatsApp users will get a set of new experiences by exploring new possibilities to manipulate images and offering greater flexibility in expressing themselves through visual content. It is worth noting that the company will provide these features to users free of charge in the future.
Currently, these features are under development, so obviously they are not available for public use. But if you want to try them now, you can do that by enrolling in the WhatsApp beta program. As per WAbetainfo, the latest AI features are spotted in version 2.24.7.13.
Samsung has released the Galaxy Enhance-X’s new update. The company doesn’t attach any specific changelog for the application; therefore, it looks like a standard improvement update, but after the installation, we got to know about some new changes in editing sections. Let’s take a deeper look.
Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X: new changes
Samsung has rolled out the new update for the Enhance-X with version number 2.0.89. With the latest version, users will get some new interface changes, including a new redesign of the editing suggestions and a new set of icons.
When you open a picture or video in the Galaxy Enhance-X, it automatically analyzes the content with its AI and suggests to you a set of options that you can use to easily edit. Despite the redesign of these options, the series of suggestions has not introduced any additional innovation.
Along with the icon changes, the company has also changed the order of them. The company has moved the ‘Fix lens distortion’ option from the section that offers the option of real test adjustment image or cropping to the secure related faces.
Installation
To get the advantages of fresh changes, you can check for the latest update. To do that, just go to the Galaxy Store and check for the list of updates. If you find the Galaxy Enhance-X new update available, tap on the update icon to get it on your device.
WhatsApp is one of the popular social media giants that is commonly used worldwide; however, at the same time that WhatsApp became popular gradually, several social media applications arrived, but they didn’t survive in the market. WhatsApp, with its convenient features, has a strong consumer base and is successful in providing better services. However, users who use the beta application sometimes get issues, like recently encountered annoying bug issues while opening the documents.
According to the reports, several users have faced an issue where they are unable to download the document file. Specifically, when they tap on the download button, it reacts as if the application is out of network and shows a pop-up message that says, “The download was unable to complete. Please try again later.” It is worth noticing that the issue only appears for beta testers. So a stable user will not get any trouble from this issue.
Usually, this type of pop-up message appears when you are not connected to the proper network. But according to the information, several beta testers are facing this issue while on a strong network. Most probably, it might be some server-side problem with interpreting the stable network.
However, WhatsApp has resolved the issue with the latest update, version 2.24.10.15. So if you are also facing the same issue, then try to update the application to the latest version. To do that, go to the Google Play Store, then search for WhatsApp, and tap on the update button.
Google already made the Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download for Pixel owners and is gradually but actively moving towards the stable version. The stable version of Android 15 could offer more access to third-party developers for Digital Wellbeing tools.
A few years ago, Google introduced its Digital Wellbeing application in 2019, this helps users balance their digital lives by tracking how much time they spend on each application. It includes various tools such as Dashboard, App timers, and more.
Third-party developers have been limited in how they can use the digital wellbeing tools, but that may be changing with Android 15. For now, third-party applications can only make Do Not Disturb schedules using Android’s Digital Wellbeing APIs, but in the scenarios where Android 15 lands by the end of this year, they will get the power to more fully make use of the tools Google has been keeping to itself.
Particularly, third-party applications will be permitted to make changes to the screen, for instance, by turning off the Always On Display or authorizing Dark Mode. Granted, developers have acknowledged workarounds to enable those features, but now it appears that those functionalities will have official support, a report says.
If this report came true, then users would have a wider variety of applications to manage screen time and focus at their convenience, instead of relying simply on Google’s built-in tools. However, a few core functionalities; for instance, disabling touch and adjusting brightness will possibly remain restricted. It will be interesting to see the exact change in the stable version.
