WhatsApp users can now use bewildered AI to create nano-banana style trending images. Simply messaging chatbot numbers and uploading photos using the prompts, allowing users to edit and generate AI-powered virus images such as retro portraits and sari trends. The functionality is easy to use.
You must have created trending images like Nano Banana from Google Gemini. You must be enjoying this trend. Now, WhatsApp allows users to create such images directly from their instant messaging platform. Millions of users can now generate AI-powered creative images without downloading additional apps or visiting other websites. Perplexity AI has rolled out this new feature that makes the process simple, quick and attractive for WhatsApp users.
Nano Banana Images is currently available on WhatsApp
Arvind Srinivas, co-founder and CEO of Perplexity AI, announced the update through his LinkedIn post. He confirmed that users can edit and create AI images using Perplexity directly in WhatsApp. Similar to Google Gemini's Nano Banana feature, users can create retro portraits, stylish outfits, and even trendy images of viral sari.
How to create nanobanana images in WhatsApp
You don't need the Google AI Studio or Gemini app to get started. Instead, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp and Message +1 (833) 436-3285.
- This connects to the nanobanana engine through confusion.
- Upload the photo you want to edit.
- Send a prompt (in English or in your own language) explaining the required image style.
- Within seconds, your custom AI image will be ready.
The quality of the output depends on how clear and detailed the prompt is. For example, prompts such as “4K Retro Bollywood Style Portrait” and “Modern Saree Fashion Look” create virus-style images.
Is this feature free?
Confusion has yet to confirm whether this feature will be free or paid in the future. Currently, Gemini's Google's Nano Banana is free to use, but monetization could come later, due to the stumping of the WhatsApp ecosystem.
Google first launched Nano Banana on August 26, 2025, but it quickly went viral. Since then, the feature has been created over 500 million images, making it one of the most popular AI image trends.
