WEB DESK: The new “Camera Effects” feature offers filters, interactive backgrounds, and enhanced privacy controls for video calls.
WhatsApp is expanding its feature set with a new update focused on enhancing the camera and video call experience for users.
The update, named “Camera Effects,” is currently accessible to select beta testers, with a broader rollout planned in the coming days, according to WaBetaInfo.
This feature introduces an advanced camera effects menu within privacy settings, allowing users to customize effects for both the camera and video calls.
Once activated, users can apply various filters, backgrounds, and interactive effects that dynamically respond to facial expressions, gestures, and movements, adding a personalized and expressive touch to video interactions.
To cater to different user needs, WhatsApp has designed the feature with flexibility in mind. Users can toggle these effects on or off within the camera interface during video calls.
For those seeking a more traditional or professional look, the option can be disabled entirely through privacy settings, giving users greater control over their video call experience.
The update aligns with WhatsApp’s recent focus on privacy and user preference, enhancing the platform’s appeal for both personal and professional use.
As more users gain access, the new effects are expected to make WhatsApp’s video call feature more versatile and engaging.
