Instagram Enters the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Restyle and Backdrop Features Announced

Meta's recent Connect event indicated that some innovative features are on the horizon for the world of social media. One of the standout features introduced during the event was "Restyle", which allowed Instagram users to edit their photos using artificial intelligence.

Restyle was introduced as an advanced artificial intelligence filter that can transform existing photos of users into different looks. According to a statement by Meta, users will be able to fine-tune their photos as they wish with detailed commands.

In addition to this, a preview of the artificial intelligence-supported green screen feature called "Backdrop" was also showcased. With this feature, users can create photos with new backgrounds using commands like "place me in front of a majestic aurora borealis".

It has not been confirmed exactly when the Restyle and Backdrop features will be available to users, but Meta indicated that these innovations will be coming "soon". The company also announced that content created with artificial intelligence will be marked with specific labels to ensure it is not confused with content created by humans.

Another feature introduced by Meta at the event was stickers created by artificial intelligence, which will be available for use on Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook Stories. These stickers will allow users to quickly create custom content using text commands. Meta announced that these stickers will be activated in the coming months.
