Meta-owned WhatsApp has introduced a new feature aimed at enhancing the video-calling experience for its users.
According to WaBetaInfo, the latest update includes augmented reality (AR) effects and filters for calls. This new feature allows users to personalize their interactions with advanced visual tools. WhatsApp is further improving the feature by enabling users to incorporate these effects into the camera interface.
A new “filter” button has been added to the camera screen, making it easy for users to apply filters with a single tap, enhancing their photos and videos. Previously, these effects were only available during video calls, but they can now be used directly with the camera. “With this new option, users can quickly switch between various filters, allowing real-time adjustments before capturing photos and videos,” WaBetaInfo reported.
Among the available effects is a skin-smoothing filter that helps enhance complexion by reducing blemishes and evening out skin tones.
In addition, WhatsApp has expanded its background-changing feature, previously limited to video calls. Now, users can replace their background with virtual scenes or blur it for a more professional appearance. The camera also includes lighting adjustments, such as a low-light mode to improve visibility in dark environments, making photos and videos clearer in challenging conditions.
This update is currently available to beta testers on WhatsApp beta for Android, with a wider rollout expected in the coming weeks.
