WhatsApp, the go-to app for millions worldwide for video and audio calls, is set to introduce AR (Augmented Reality) features to enhance the calling experience. Meta’s upcoming update aims to make calls more interactive and engaging with new effects and filters.
According to WA Beta Info, the latest beta version 2.24.13.14 on the Google Play Store reveals exciting AR features. These include dynamic facial filters, such as a touch-up tool for smoother skin and a low-light mode for better visibility in dim conditions. These enhancements promise a more engaging way to connect with friends and family.
Additionally, WhatsApp is developing a feature that allows users to edit their background during calls, useful for group conferences to customize surroundings or blur out distractions. This feature will also be available on desktop apps, offering enhanced editing capabilities for professional settings.
In an effort to make video calls more entertaining, WhatsApp will soon introduce avatars that users can opt to use instead of their real-time video feed. This allows for a fun and creative way to express oneself while maintaining privacy.
These AR features are still under development and will be included in a future update. Earlier reports indicated that WhatsApp also updated its calling interface in beta version 2.24.12.14 for Android, featuring a sleeker design, larger profile photos, and improved visual clarity for the calling bar.
