Profile and Appearance

Every week a new theme drops. Themes are inspired by current trends, pop culture, or whatever's having a moment.

If your AI Selfies are on, you'll get a push notification when your themed selfie is ready.

It appears in a pop-up module the next time you open Cantina.

Save it or share it.

About the themes

Some themes will be permanently available to use in the selfie booth after the week ends. Others will be hidden after the campaign ends.

How to opt out

You have a few ways to stop themed selfies:

• From the module: Tap Stop receiving themed selfies below the Imagine more button. Themed selfies stop. Other AI selfies of your avatar continue.
• When you delete one: Tap the trash icon on a themed selfie. In the confirmation, tap Delete to remove just that one, or Delete and stop receiving to remove it and turn themed selfies off going forward.

• From your profile (turns off all AI selfies): Open your profile, tap Edit Avatar, and switch off Allow AI Selfies of Your Avatar. This stops themed selfies and every other AI selfie of your avatar.

Troubleshooting

"My AI Selfie from the Photo Booth doesn't match the clothing style I want in the prompt."

Your AI Selfie is using the clothing style set in your AI Selfie Booth settings. To resolve this:

• Go back to Edit
• Select Custom under Clothing Style
• Make sure it matches the style you're describing in your selfie prompt

💡 Tip: Start with "Casual" to get a good base look, then go back and edit later!

"I don't like my AI Selfie - it doesn't look like me."

Here are some ways to improve your result:

• Use a straight-on photo with good lighting
• Try uploading a different base image
• If the first result seems off, regenerate a few selfies and select the one that looks most like you
• Toggle on Take AI Selfies
