Key points from the news
- WhatsApp tests Meta AI photo expansion for iPhone beta testers via TestFlight.
- The tool extends images to fit 9:16 frames, building on earlier Android beta access.
- WhatsApp has not confirmed a release date or specific regions for the wider rollout.
The option appears within the existing drawing editor, integrating seamlessly into the standard editing workflow. WhatsApp displays the tool only when the photo is not already in a supported format. The company has not announced a specific timeline for a wider release or identified which regions will receive the update first. This development follows previous Meta AI integrations in WhatsApp, including AI image generation for status updates launched in October 2025 and tests for AI-made profile photos and group icons on iOS.
As the tool remains in beta, WhatsApp may modify it before a general launch. Users interested in trying the feature must have access to the latest beta build through TestFlight, which is limited to select accounts. This move continues Meta’s broader strategy of embedding AI capabilities across its messaging and social platforms.
