Wtf meta, what’s going on?
It’s a bug, the translucent rectangle that usually goes behind the time stamp along the bottom right corner of a preview is bugged to the left. Happens to me from time to time
Example
Or, hear me out, the app is trying to give that field cleavage in your examples. Big ol’ grass titties of mother earth.
Great…tracts of land.
…i’m listening
It’s working for me
Oh I noticed this yesterday or earlier today, and I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this bug.
Hopefully they’ll fix it soon.
This happened with an academic conference (physics iirc). A professor was asked to speak and she submitted a headshot for use in their advertising, but the conference wanted a different aspect ratio. Rather than crop the image, the materials designer asked ChatGPT to expand the photo to the correct size. It gave the professor a low cut shirt, and no one at the conference company noticed until the promotional materials were distributed and the professor contacted them.
This sounds a little made up. But it could also be true.
I hate this timeline for reasons like this.
I remember it but it was hard to find. Might have been the case of Elizabeth Lazarki
I instantly thought of exactly the same article. Compared to text, image generators seem much more prone to this kind of shit, just spitting society’s worst impulses back at us because that’s what its been trained to mimic via advertising.
middle aged cis guy here. Thinking of opening a WhatsApp account to see if it will give me cleavage.

Me too, but if I wore a v neck there’d be too much hair to tell.
Plot twist: the AI gives you a hairy set of badonkers
Wtf? Is this real?
It looks like a translucent black rectangular overlay that happens to line up with the chest to me.
Why they have it I’m not sure…
That’s what it is. The same rectangle exists on pictures of the ocean I recently sent to someone on Whatsapp. Just a weird UI bug I guess.
This is not what it is. You can see the bottom of the v neck in the picture on the right. The cleavage was added to skin that was visible in the original shot. It is not skin that was below the image on the right.
Yes, Whatsapp adds a black rectangle to the bottom left of the image thumbnail for all images. I see it every morning when I send a picture of today’s calendar puzzle to my family.
Dafuq, its real. This is such a weird thing to do. And it you open the image full size, the black rectangle is gone.
It exists to make the time in the lower right corner more visible, but some bug caused it to be aligned with the left border, causing this ugly effect
OMG these are fun!

I missed bedsheet spreadsheet, thank you for posting that.
All correct so far.
I wonder if it’s some kind of tracking watermark like printers have.
It should be right-aligned so that the timestamp and status is visible against a light background. But it’s left-aligned due to a bug.
where did you get that? i want one!
It is the 2025 Mensa Puzzle Calendar.
thank you!
It’s on all pictures I send. Placement varies depending on image format.
I misunderstood your statement. I thought you meant a solid black rectangle along the entire bottom of the image. The picture you posted shows me that you mean a transparent black rectangle in the bottom left corner. The edge of that rectangle lines up exactly with where OPs apparent cleavage appears. The black shirt and their picture hid the rest of the effect. Thank you for helping me see it.
Very much so… no fucking idea why tho
A lot of photos have the problem of photo preview having a weird shadow in the middle of the picture, its a recent update
Yep this has happened to other ppl too
Cleavage? Those look like pecs. Gurl can bench!
