Meta has started rolling out its AI Images feature for Instagram in India, allowing users to post Meta AI-generated images on Stories from within the app. Available on the Instagram Stories interface, the new "AI Images" option offers a collection of AI-generated images that the users can post. Alternatively, users can prompt Meta AI with a description of an image that they want to share.
 
The feature has started showing up for select users, with the latest Instagram mobile app version for both Android and iOS platforms.
 
Meta AI-generated images on Instagram Stories: How to share
  • Tap on the "+" icon visible on your Instagram profile picture to open the Image picker interface.
  • Select the new "AI Images" option available on the sliding menu at the top of the interface.
  • Tap on "Continue" to agree to Meta's AI Terms.
  • A new Meta AI interface will appear, displaying a collection of AI-generated images.
