Nano Banana Images on WhatsApp
Perplexity AI’s co-founder and CEO Arvind Srinivas announced this update through his LinkedIn Post. He confirmed that users can now edit and create AI images directly on Whatsapp using Perplexity. Like Google Gemini’s Nano Banana feature, users can make retro portraits, stylish outfits and even viral saree trend images.
To start, you do not need Google AI Studio or Gemini app. Instead, follow these steps:
Open WhatsApp and message at +1 (833) 436-3285.
It connects you to the Nano Banana engine through Perplexity.
Upload the photo you want to edit.
Send a prompt (in English or your language) in which describe the image style you want.
In a few seconds, your custom AI image will be ready.
Will this feature be free?
Perplexity has not yet confirmed whether this feature will remain free or will be paid in future. Currently, Google can be used for free on Nano Banana Gemini, but with admission to Perplexity Whatsapp Ecosystem, there may be montage in future.
Google first launched Nano Banana on August 26, 2025 and became increasingly viral. Since then, this feature has created more than 500 million images, making it one of the most popular AI image trends.
