Meta has rolled out new artificial intelligence features on Facebook to make the platform more fun, creative, and visually appealing.
With rising competition from other social media apps, Facebook is adding tools that help users stand out.
From animated profile photos to redesigned old memories, the platform is trying to bring fresh energy back to users’ feeds.
Here’s what’s new.
Turn Your Profile Photo into an Animation
One of the biggest updates is the ability to animate your regular profile picture.
You don’t need to upload a video.
Instead, you can apply ready-made motion effects to your existing photo.
In just a few taps, your still picture can look like it’s moving.
There are several animation styles available, including:
Natural
Party Hat
Confetti
Wave
Heart Effect
For best results, Meta suggests using a clear, front-facing photo with a single face. More styles are expected to be added soon.
This feature is designed to help users make their profiles more eye-catching without extra effort.
Give Old Photos a Fresh Look
Facebook is also updating how you can use old photos in Stories and Memories.
With the new “Restyle” option, users can transform old images using AI.
You can type in your own idea or choose from ready-made design themes.
For example, a normal photo can be converted into:
An anime-style image
A low-poly design
Other creative visual formats
This means you no longer need separate editing apps to give your photos a completely new look.
Make Text Posts More Attractive
It’s not just photos that are getting attention.
Now, even simple text posts can stand out.
When writing a post, tapping the “A” icon opens up a range of background designs.
These include both static and animated options.
This helps text updates grab attention in a News Feed that is mostly filled with videos and images.
A Bigger Plan to Refresh Facebook
These AI tools are part of a larger strategy.
Meta has been working to make Facebook more focused on friends and close connections.
Features like the Friends-Only Feed have been introduced to show more posts from people you actually know, instead of mostly algorithm-driven content.
By adding creative AI features, Meta hopes to make Facebook more personal, interactive, and engaging again.
With these updates, the platform is clearly trying to stay relevant in a fast-changing social media world.
