WhatsApp is set to roll out its new augmented reality (AR) features for call effects and filters to iOS users, expanding beyond its initial release on Android, according to WABetaInfo.
These new tools aim to enhance the personalization and interactivity of video calls, making them more engaging and enjoyable. Currently, the AR features are available to some beta testers who have installed the latest versions of WhatsApp beta for iOS, with a broader release expected in the coming weeks.
A standout feature in this update is the dynamic facial filters, which allow users to customize their video call appearance in real time. These filters enable on-the-fly adjustments to the color tone of the video feed, providing users with more control over how they present themselves during calls.
Moreover, WhatsApp has introduced a background editing tool, allowing users to blur their surroundings or replace them with pre-designed backgrounds, further enhancing the customization options for video calls.
Another noteworthy addition is the low-light mode toggle, which improves visibility in dimly lit environments. With a simple switch, users can enhance the lighting quality of their video feed, ensuring clearer communication in settings with limited natural light. This feature is especially useful for evening calls or for those who often find themselves in low-light conditions.
