Meta AI’s Imagine features, which use generative AI to turn text prompts into images, are now being expanded across Facebook and Instagram, the company announced at Meta Connect 2024 on Wednesday. With the update, users will be able to use prompts to generate AI photos directly in their feed, Stories, and for their Facebook profile pictures.
The new capabilities could help users and creators call more attention to their posts and shares by allowing them to generate fanciful and eye-catching images to accompany their text. Once shared, friends and followers can see the images and react to them or even mimic them, Meta says.

Facebook users already upload photos of characters, animals, or something else besides their own photo as their profile picture to better protect their privacy. Now, they won’t have to seek out such a photo: They can simply generate one.
The AI can also suggest captions for Stories on Facebook and Instagram, as a part of this update.
The image generation capabilities will come to Messenger, too, to create personalized chat themes. This is accessed by tapping on “Themes” in the chat. Before, users could change the background of their chats as well as the color of the text bubbles, but Meta AI offers far more options in terms of the types of images that can be used.

Meta says it’s also testing new AI-generated content in Facebook and Instagram feeds where it will display AI images created for users based on interests and trends.

This is largely designed to push people to try Meta AI by tapping on a suggested prompt to reimagine the photo or by swiping to generate content in real time using Meta Imagine AI.
