Snapchat Announces New Generative AI Elements for Snapchat+ Subscribers

Snapchat is rolling out a series of new features powered by generative AI, specifically for Snapchat+ subscribers. These features aim to enhance the creativity and engagement within the app. Here’s a breakdown of the new additions:

1. AI-Generated Images:

• Similar to platforms like Dall-E or Midjourney, Snapchat+ users can now create images based on text prompts.
• Users enter a short description of what they want the image to look like, and the AI generates it on the fly.
• This opens up opportunities for creating unique visuals for stories, chats, and other content.

2. AI-Powered Background Extension Tool:

• This new tool allows users to automatically fill in the background of zoomed-in photos.
• This is useful for situations where the original photo has an unwanted or distracting background.
• The AI analyzes the existing content and seamlessly blends in a new background that complements the subject.

3. Collaborative AI Selfies:

• The “Dreams” feature, which allows users to create fantastical images of themselves in different scenarios, is now available for collaboration.
• Users can create an AI selfie and then choose a friend to appear alongside them in the dream scene.
• This adds a new layer of fun and interactivity to the “Dreams” feature.

These features are currently rolling out to Snapchat+ subscribers globally, with regional availability varying. Additionally, some features may have limitations for non-subscribers, such as limited access to “Dreams” creations.
