One of the main new features will be the ability to create custom AI-generated wallpapers. This feature will allow users to design unique visual environments for their chats, using personal parameters such as colors, styles, and themes, all managed by artificial intelligence .
The initiative aims to offer a more immersive experience tailored to each individual's taste.
New sticker for status chains WhatsApp will also introduce a new interactive sticker called "Add Yours," which will work similarly to story threads on other social platforms.
This sticker can be used in statuses and will allow other users to respond in creative and personalized ways, thus encouraging greater interaction and participation within the app.
Private summary of conversations with AI The third feature highlighted will be a chat summary tool powered by Meta AI. This will allow users to get a summary of their conversations, which can be useful for reviewing topics discussed or retrieving key information.
As reported, these summaries will be private: neither Meta nor WhatsApp will have access to the content processed by the artificial intelligence.

This year, WhatsApp has already implemented other features focused on interaction and creativity, such as new camera effects, selfie-style stickers, and quick reactions.
Additionally, users can now share custom stickers with other contacts, expanding the possibilities for self-expression within the app.
Meta indicates that they will continue to strengthen their instant messaging ecosystem with features that prioritize privacy and security, while seeking to enrich the communication experience of their global community.
