Facebook is undergoing a major visual transformation as Meta rolls out a suite of generative AI tools designed to make the platform more interactive.

The centerpiece of this update is the ability for users to animate their profile pictures. By using Meta AI, a standard still headshot can now be turned into a playful animation featuring effects like waving, heart gestures, or virtual party hats in just a few seconds.

The tech giant is also introducing the "Restyle" tool for Stories and Memories. This feature allows users to completely reimagine their photos using AI prompts or artistic presets such as "anime" or "ethereal."

Beyond just filters, Restyle can modify lighting, color schemes, and even swap out backgrounds for cityscapes or beaches, giving old memories a fresh, modern aesthetic.

These updates are part of Meta’s 2026 goal to make user creativity effortless. By using these AI-powered visuals, Facebook is making the platform more interactive and fun for a new generation of users. These features are rolling out globally, with more seasonal animations expected to arrive later this year.
