Meta has introduced advanced AI tools for editing on Instagram Stories. Users can now integrate text prompts to manipulate images and videos seamlessly. This upgrade significantly enhances the existing editing features previously confined to interactions with the Meta AI chatbot.
Enhancing Instagram Stories with AI Tools
The new editing capabilities are housed within the “Restyle” menu, accessible when tapping the paintbrush icon at the top of Instagram Stories. Users can edit images by indicating what they want to add, remove, or change using simple text prompts.
Key Features of AI Integration
- Editing Options: Users can change hair color, add elements like crowns, or insert backgrounds such as sunsets.
- Preset Effects: Options to alter outfits with accessories, like sunglasses or biker jackets, are available.
- Video Effects: Users can enhance videos by making scenes snowy or adding flames.
Despite the benefits, users should be aware of the AI Terms of Service. By using these features, users consent to having their media and facial features analyzed by AI. Meta’s terms permit the summarization of image content, modifications, and the generation of new content based on uploaded images.
Competitive Edge in the AI Market
Meta continues to innovate with its AI offerings to stay ahead in a competitive landscape. Recently, the company tested a feature called “Write with Meta AI.” This tool assists users in crafting clever comments for their posts.
Additionally, last month, the launch of the AI-generated video feed named “Vibes” in the Meta AI app contributed to a significant rise in downloads. According to data from Similarweb, the app’s daily active users surged to 2.7 million on iOS and Android as of October 17, up from approximately 775,000 just four weeks prior.
New Parental Controls
In response to parent concerns, Meta announced new parental control features. These enhancements allow parents to disable chats with AI characters and oversee the topics their teenagers discuss with the Meta AI chatbot. This proactive approach reflects Meta’s commitment to user safety as it expands its AI capabilities.
