WhatsApp: How to use the new image generator

WhatsApp is now following suit. You can now generate images or edit your photos in a chat. The latter is particularly impressive: you upload a selfie and say, for instance, that you want to see yourself envisioned as a Simpsons character. Or that you want to age by 30 years. Practical things are also possible, including removing distracting backgrounds, sharpening images, or adapting the look to a specific time period or aesthetic.
How to change your pictures using WhatsApp and ChatGPT
