Instagram develops AI tool for custom profile pictures

Instagram is reportedly developing a feature that will let users create custom profile pictures using artificial intelligence. This option, labeled "Create an AI profile picture," was discovered by a developer during a profile update. Currently, users can only upload existing photos or create avatars. The new AI tool aims to enhance creativity and detail in profile pictures. Similar features are also being explored for Facebook and WhatsApp. The company has not confirmed the feature or its release timeline. In a separate update, Instagram announced it will stop auto-refreshing users' feeds when they reopen the app, responding to user feedback.
