Snapchat's new generative AI features now lets Snapchat Plus subscribers create images based on a text prompt and send them to friends.
Those who subscribe to Snapchat’s $3.99 plan can use the feature by tapping the “AI” button from the toolbar on the right side of the camera interface. This opens up a window where users can type a text prompt or choose from one of the premade options.
Based on the prompt, Snapchat’s AI will produce an image, allowing users to edit it and add a message before sending it across on the app. Snapchat is rolling out some other AI-powered perks for subscribers as well, including a way to make the subject of a photo appear farther away from the camera by using AI to fill in the background. Users can try the feature by taking a close-up, pressing the “crop” icon in the camera interface, and selecting “extend.”
