ChatGPT has introduced an improved image-generation tool powered by GPT-4o and it’s already a massive hit. Users have been using it to create AI-generated images in various art styles, but one trend stands out, the Studio Ghibli-style AI art.

People are uploading photos, memes, and existing images into ChatGPT and asking it to recreate them in the signature Studio Ghibli look.

Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has joined in, changing his X profile picture to an AI-generated image in this style.

But there’s a catch! Due to overwhelming demand, Altman later announced that free users will have to wait before they can access the tool.

What Is Ghibli-Style AI Art?

The “Ghibli style” comes from Studio Ghibli, the legendary Japanese animation studio co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki. Known for its hand-drawn, whimsical, and dreamy aesthetic, Studio Ghibli has created some of the world’s most beloved anime films over the past 40 years.

Ghibli-style images have a distinctive mix of soft colours, natural elements, and detailed backgrounds, making them both artistic and nostalgic.

Now, with ChatGPT, users can recreate their own images in this iconic anime style with just a few clicks.

Controversy Around AI-Generated Ghibli Art

While many users are loving the Ghibli-style AI edits, some artists and fans aren’t happy. Critics argue that ChatGPT is copying a style that took decades to develop without giving credit to the artists behind it.

There’s also a potential copyright issue. ChatGPT refuses to generate Disney or Marvel characters due to copyright restrictions, but it still allows users to mimic Ghibli’s style. This raises concerns about whether AI-generated images should be allowed to imitate well-known artistic styles.

Some artists see this as a disrespect to Miyazaki’s legacy, while others believe it’s just a fun tool for users to experiment with different art styles. The debate is ongoing.

How to Create Ghibli-Style Anime Images in ChatGPT?

If you want to try this feature, you’ll need a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month or approx. ₹1,715). OpenAI had planned to release this for free users, but due to high server load, it’s currently available only to paid users.

Here’s how you can generate Ghibli-style AI images in ChatGPT –

  • Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus
  • Upload an image to ChatGPT
  • Use the prompt: “Convert this image into Ghibli-style anime”
  • Wait a few seconds or a minute, depending on server load

ChatGPT will analyse your image and edit it to match the classic Japanese animation style seen in Ghibli films. That’s why many of these AI-generated images look like they belong in an animated movie.

FAQS

Q1. What is the Studio Ghibli-style AI art trend with ChatGPT?

Answer. ChatGPT’s improved image-generation tool allows users to recreate photos and images in Studio Ghibli’s whimsical, dreamy art style, sparking an online trend.

Q2. Is the Ghibli-style AI tool available for free users?

Answer. No, the tool is currently accessible only to ChatGPT Plus users due to high demand. Free users will need to wait for future access.

Q3. How can users create Ghibli-style anime images with ChatGPT?

Answer. Users need ChatGPT Plus. Upload an image to ChatGPT and use the prompt: “Convert this image into Ghibli-style anime” to generate the art.

Highlights

  • Meta introduces the Friends tab in the Facebook app for iPhone.
  • The company is focusing on updates from friends and family, echoing the “OG Facebook” vibe.
  • It provides a dedicated feed for posts like photos, stories, birthdays, and friend requests, replacing suggested friends.
  • The feature is initially available in the U.S. and Canada.

It appears Meta is serious about making good on Mark Zuckerberg’s promise to bring back the “OG Facebook” experience. Zuckerberg earlier this year mentioned one of company’s key priorities for the year would be “to get back to some OG Facebook.”

Now, Facebook is rolling out a new Friends tab in its iPhone app, bringing the focus back to updates from your actual friends and family, just like the good old days. Here’s what we know so far.

In a recent The New York Times report, Mike Isaac explains, “The company said the Facebook app would now include a separate news feed for users that featured posts shared exclusively by people’s friends and family. The feature, called the Friends Tab, will replace a tab in the app that showed new friend requests or suggested friends. Friends Tab will instead show a scrolling feed of posts, such as photos, video stories, text, birthday notifications and friend requests. For now, it will be available to Facebook users only in the United States and Canada.”

Previously, during Meta’s earnings call, the CEO explained, “Facebook is used by more than 3 billion monthly actives and we’re focused on growing its cultural influence. I’m excited this year to get back to some OG Facebook.”

This shift is a major change for Facebook, which over the years has filled the main feed with suggested posts, brand content, and other distractions. The new Friends tab aims to bring back what originally made Facebook popular, a simple way to see updates from people you actually know.

The head of the Facebook app, Tom Alison also adds, “This idea of having a central place of what’s going on with your friends, that was like the magic of the early days of social media. We’re making sure that there’s still a place for this stuff on Facebook. It is something that shouldn’t get lost in the modern social media mix.”

While changing one tab in the app might not seem like a big deal, it marks a return to Facebook’s roots. If you’ve been missing the days when your feed was just friends’ posts, photos, and updates, this new feature is for you.

The Friends tab is rolling out for users in the U.S. and Canada. If you don’t see it yet, try force-quitting the app and reopening it. If it’s still not there, you should get the update very soon.

FAQs

Q1. What is the new Friends tab on Facebook?

Answer. The Friends tab is a dedicated feed in the Facebook app that focuses on updates from friends and family, showing posts like photos, stories, birthdays, and friend requests.

Q2. Where is the new Facebook Friends tab currently available?

Answer. The Friends tab is currently available to Facebook users in the United States and Canada.

Q3. What is the purpose of the new Friends tab on Facebook?

Answer. The Friends tab aims to bring back the “OG Facebook” experience by prioritizing updates from people you know, reducing suggested posts and brand content.

Highlights

  • With iOS 18.2, Apple now allows iPhone users to set WhatsApp as the default app for calls and messages.
  • This feature is now available worldwide, addressing Apple’s anti-competitive concerns.
  • Users can enable WhatsApp as their default by updating to iOS 18.2 and WhatsApp v25.8.74.
  • It provides seamless communication across iOS and Android.

With the latest iOS 18.2 update, Apple has finally allowed iPhone users to set third-party apps as their default for calls and messages. Now, WhatsApp has rolled out support for this feature, meaning you can make WhatsApp your go-to app for calls and texts on your iPhone.

Set WhatsApp as Your Default Calling & Messaging App

As first spotted by trusted WhatsApp Beta source WABetaInfo, the newest WhatsApp update for iOS now supports default app selection. This means that when you tap a phone number, your iPhone will automatically use WhatsApp instead of the built-in Phone app to make the call.

While this feature was introduced mainly to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple has made it available to all users worldwide.

Besides calls and messages, iOS now lets you choose default apps for email, call filtering, web browsing, translation, passwords, payments (in some regions), keyboards, and even maps (only in the EU).

The WhatsApp update is rolling out to all iPhone users, not just beta testers.

How  Make WhatsApp Your Default Messaging & Calling App on iPhone?

You’ll need an iPhone running iOS 18.2 and WhatsApp v25.8.74. If you meet these requirements, follow these steps –

image

  • Open Settings on your iPhone.
  • Scroll down and tap on Apps.

image

  • Select Default Apps.

image

  • Tap on Messaging and choose WhatsApp as your default messaging app.

image

  • Tap on Calling and set WhatsApp as your default calling app.

Once set, WhatsApp will handle all default calls and messages.

If you tap on a phone number in Safari, Messages, Mail, Notes, or other apps, your iPhone will open WhatsApp instead of the built-in Phone, Messages, or FaceTime apps.

What Makes This Change Significant?

Apple has always been strict about default app selection typically favouring its own services. However, due to increasing regulatory pressure especially from the EU’s DMA, Apple has had to make these changes to avoid being labeled anti-competitive.

This update also has big implications for markets like the USA, where the divide between iMessage’s blue bubbles and WhatsApp’s green bubbles has been a long-standing issue.

While it’s unclear how this will impact iMessage’s dominance, iPhone users now have more control over their messaging experience, making communication seamless across iOS and Android.

FAQs

Q1. How can iPhone users set WhatsApp as their default app for calls and messages?

Answer. Users need an iPhone running iOS 18.2 and WhatsApp v25.8.74. Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps, then select WhatsApp for Messaging and Calling.

Q2. Why has Apple allowed WhatsApp to be set as the default calling and messaging app?

Answer. Apple introduced this change to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), addressing concerns about anti-competitive practices. The feature is now available globally.

Q3. What implications does this update have for users?

Answer. It enhances messaging control, enabling seamless communication across iOS and Android. It may also impact iMessage’s dominance in markets like the USA.

Highlights

  • Meta introduces a fast-forward feature for Instagram Reels.
  • It will allow users to watch Reel videos at 2x speed by holding either side of the screen.
  • The feature addresses viewer needs for more control over lengthy videos.
  • Instagram’s upcoming video editing app Edits has been delayed and won’t launch as planned this month.

Meta has introduced a new feature for Instagram, making it easier for users to fast-forward Reels videos. This update is especially useful for those who enjoy short videos but want more control over playback speed.

Fast-Forwarding Feature Comes to Instagram Reels

Over the years, both TikTok and Instagram Reels have increased their video length limits to allow users to upload clips that run for several minutes. While this gives creators more flexibility, it also means that viewers sometimes want to skip ahead or fast-forward through content.

In a statement, Instagram said, “Today, we’re globally launching the ability to play an Instagram Reel at 2x speed. This has been a highly requested feature from our community, and we hope being able to fast forward helps give you more control over your Reels experience as you connect with friends over content you love and enjoy.”

TikTok already had a fast-forward option, and now Instagram is catching up. According to a recent TechCrunch report, users who have received the update can watch Reels at 2x speed by simply pressing and holding either side of the screen while watching.

As for rollout, a spokesperson told CNET, “Everyone on IG should have access by the end of the day. Oftentimes, our rollouts take 24 hours or so.”

While this feature is great for viewers, some content creators might worry about how it impacts audience engagement and whether it further reduces attention spans for longer content.

Instagram’s Video Editing App Faces Delays

In related news, Instagram has been working on a new video editing app called Edits. Originally expected to launch this month, the app has been delayed again.

Meta’s new tool is designed to compete with TikTok’s video editor CapCut, which offers users more shooting and editing options directly on their smartphones.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature has Instagram introduced for Reels?

Answer. Instagram has added a fast-forward feature, allowing users to watch Reels at 2x speed by pressing and holding either side of the screen.

Q2. Why was the fast-forward feature introduced for Reels?

Q3. What is the current status of Instagram’s new video editing app Edits?

Google to Develop Android OS In Private: Report

By
Team My Mobile
-
0

Highlights

  • Google is moving all Android OS development to internal branches.
  • The company is ending its traditional dual-branch approach with AOSP and internal development.
  • While the Android OS remains open-source, contributing developers will need a Google Mobile Services (GMS) license.
  • Custom ROM developers won’t be significantly affected.

Google is changing the way it develops Android OS and is shifting to a fully private development process, according to a new report. While Android has traditionally been developed on both a public and an internal branch, Google will now move all development to its internal branches.

The company will still publish source code for new Android releases, meaning this shift shouldn’t affect custom ROM developers or other platform developers. Here’s what we know so far.

Why Google Is Changing Android Development Process?

According to Android Authority, Google will start making this change as early as next week. Instead of working on both a public Android Open Source Project (AOSP) branch and an internal branch, development will now happen entirely behind closed doors.

In the past, the AOSP branch often lagged behind the internal one, leading to delays in new features and errors when merging patches between the two. To avoid these issues, even components like Bluetooth, which were previously developed in public, will now be handled privately.

Google confirmed these changes and assured that Android will remain open-source. It will continue to publish Android’s source code and the Android kernel (which is forked from the Linux kernel). However, developers who want to contribute to Android OS development will need a Google Mobile Services (GMS) license to work on the internal branch.

What This Means for Developers and Users?

For most users and app developers, nothing will change. Custom ROM developers like LineageOS rely on Google’s stable release tags, so they shouldn’t be affected either. However, news outlets that used to track Android updates through public AOSP patches will no longer have access to those early details.

While this move might make Android development more streamlined, it also makes the process less transparent, leaving many to wonder what this means for the future of open-source Android development.

FAQs

Q1. What change is Google making to Android OS development?

Answer. Google is shifting all Android OS development to internal branches, ending the dual-branch approach that included public AOSP development.

Q2. Will this change affect custom ROM developers?

Answer. No, custom ROM developers like LineageOS won’t be significantly affected since they rely on Google’s stable release tags.

Q3. What concerns does this new Android OS development process raise?

Answer. This move reduces public transparency into Android updates, leading to concerns about the future openness of Android’s development process.
