WhatsApp is expanding its suite of video call features, bringing its previously Android-exclusive AR effects and filters to iOS users. The latest beta update for the iPhone app hints at the imminent arrival of these fun additions.
While the initial rollout might be limited to a select group of beta testers, WhatsApp typically expands access to new features in the following days or weeks.
These AR effects promise to spice up video calls with dynamic facial filters, background editing tools, and even a low-light mode for improved visibility. Users can express their personality and enhance their appearance with a range of options.
The background editing tool allows users to either blur their surroundings or choose from pre-set backgrounds, adding a touch of customization to their calls. Additionally, the touch-up mode provides a subtle filter for a more polished look.
By offering these new features, WhatsApp enhances user experience and boosts the platform’s competitiveness in the video calling space. This move reflects the growing trend of incorporating AR elements into communication apps, providing users with more engaging and personalized ways to connect.
