"The option to animate appears when users click "Animate profile picture" on their Facebook avatars, and the feature gives a limited set of animation options, including party hat, confetti, wave, and heart, in which a photo's subject makes a heart shape with their hands. Meta says there will be additional options in the future for "seasonal moments and special events." The tech is imperfect and can only work with what it's got."
"The company also launched the ability to restyle photos with Meta AI by filtering posts with aesthetics like "anime," "illustrated," or "glowy," or by generating artificial backdrops on pictures. Text posts can also receive animated backdrops under the new updates. Response online to the idea of AI-animated Facebook avatars ranged from indifference to eye rolls over more AI content no one asked for."
Meta introduced an AI animation feature that converts still Facebook profile photos into AI-generated looping videos with limited animations such as party hat, confetti, wave, and heart. The feature appears under "Animate profile picture" on Facebook avatars and will expand to seasonal and special-event options. The technology works best with a single person facing the camera and holding no objects, and remains imperfect. Meta also added Meta AI photo restyling filters and artificial backdrops plus animated text-post backdrops. Online reaction ranged from indifference to eye rolls, and the updates align with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's push to increase AI across Meta's apps.
