“Conversations on Whatsapp should always be fun and creative,” say the teams behind the social network operated by Meta. In a press release, they also announced the availability of an important update, which offers the possibility of adding filters during video calls.
Filters to feel “confident”
These filters allow you to change the overall color of the video or give your call a tone, for example giving it an “old” look. Better yet, you can also change the background.
In total, there are ten filters and ten backgrounds available: “The filters are designed to help you create a friendlier atmosphere, either by adding a touch of color or making your video look more artistic,” specifies Whatsapp.
In addition, the “retouching options” also allow you to improve the appearance of your face, but also the brightness in certain environments. This will allow you to feel “more comfortable and safe,” explains the social network.
To access these options, during an individual or group call, simply select the effects icon located at the top right of the screen. An interface will then be displayed with the different filters or backgrounds available.
Note that the update is rolling out to iOS and Android and will be fully available to all Whatsapp users “in the coming weeks.”
