WhatsApp Video Calls
WhatsApp is set to revolutionize video calling with a new update featuring augmented reality (AR) capabilities, now available through the Google Beta Program.
This update, version 2.24.16.7, introduces an array of AR effects and filters designed to enhance the visual experience during video calls.
Currently, the new AR features are accessible only to beta testers. Users interested in exploring these updates can do so by installing the latest version from the Google Play Store, although not all users will have immediate access as the features are exclusive to the beta program at this stage.
The update aims to significantly elevate the interactivity of video calls by offering various facial filters and effects.
Among the new features are tools designed to improve users’ appearance and visibility. For instance, a “touch-up tool” has been introduced to smooth out facial features, providing a polished look during video interactions.
Additionally, a “low-light mode” has been incorporated to enhance visibility in dimly lit environments, ensuring that users look their best even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.
In addition to these effects, WhatsApp has launched a background editing tool that allows users to modify their video call backdrop.
This feature includes options to blur out unwanted elements in the background, providing a cleaner and more professional appearance.
Users can also select from a variety of scenes and images to replace their background, adding a personalized touch to their video calls.
This background editing capability is particularly anticipated to benefit desktop users, who often engage in video meetings, interviews, or professional calls.
The ability to blur or change backgrounds can help maintain a polished and distraction-free appearance during important discussions.
Overall, this update represents WhatsApp’s continued effort to enhance user experience and offer more interactive and customizable video call options.
