I can see this being interesting for about 4 minutes until the novelty wears off.

I don't get why proprietary apps love having this feature creep where more and more stuff gets bolted on, usually just making the app unnecessarily bloated, buggy, unintuitive, etc.

The worst feature Apple announced at WWDC, and people are already copying it.

Have some standards, WhatsApp!

The worst!? It’s brilliant! … but maybe you aren’t that good at making decent images.

Someone has a different opinion than you. Quick, insult them!

Someone says something about someone’s capabilities, it must be an insult! It must be pointed out!

I'm sure this is good for privacy.

Signal has offered custom stickers for years, but it's up to the user to generate them.

Doesn't Snapchat do this already without AI?

Is this different to the custom sticker feature whatsapp has had for years?

Ive made a few stickers before that i can send to others.

Or is this a feature of the samsung gallery that is incorporated into whatsapp?

But being able to block people from sending me voice messages is never coming, right? It's still gonna be my dream, though

Don’t use Meta’s spyware

They need AI to copy a feature Discord has had for the better part of a decade? Ok?

Google Messages already has this this
