Popular for sending disappearing snaps to friends, social media platform Snapchat is adding new generative AI features, including AI-generated Snaps, an AI-powered extend tool, and more. These new features are gradually rolling out for Snapchat+ subscribers globally. Over 7 million Snapchatters have joined Snapchat+, a subscription tier that offers access to the latest features which help customize their app experience, get creative, and have even more fun with friends.

In a blog post on its official website, Snap said that Snapchat Plus users can tap on the AI icon on the toolbar on the right side of the screen to open Snapchat’s image generator interface where the user can type in prompts or choose preset options to generate an image. The AI-generated image can then be edited and shared just like a regular snap.

There are already so many ways for Snapchat+ members to express themselves with AI, whether they’re creating an original Generative AI Bitmoji Background or Chat Wallpaper, transforming themselves in imaginative ways with Dreams, or learning about the world through conversation with My AI. Now, Snapchat is offering subscribers even more ways to create, edit, and capture images that inspire continued connection through visual conversation.

The Extend Tool

The company introduced the AI-powered extend tool that broadens the picture and fills the background space using AI, making the subject of the photo appear farther away from the camera. It can be accessed through the toolbar by tapping on the ‘Crop’ icon and selecting the new ‘Extend’ button at the bottom of the screen.

The Dreams Feature

Snapchat has added more ways of using this feature that helps generate imaginative AI selfies with friends. The company has announced that Snapchat+ subscribers will get one free pack of eight Dreams a month.
