WhatsApp has introduced new features like filters and backgrounds for video calls, similar to those on Zoom and Google Meet. Now, users can enhance their appearance with filters and change their backgrounds while on video calls. This feature, which had been in testing for a long time, is finally being rolled out.

WhatsApp Filters and Backgrounds

In a recent blog post, WhatsApp announced that the new filters and backgrounds aim to make video calls more engaging. With these features, you can apply filters for a fun vibe or change your background to maintain privacy. You can now place yourself in a cozy coffee shop or a stylish living room, creating a clean and polished setting for your calls.

Variety of Options Available

WhatsApp offers 10 filter and 10 background options. Filters include Warm, Cool, Black and White, Light Leak, Dreamy, Prism Light, Fisheye, Vintage TV, Frosted Glass, and Duo Tone. For backgrounds, users can choose from options like Blur, Living Room, Office, Cafe, Pebbles, Foodie, Smush, Beach, Sunset, Celebration, and Forest.

Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing touch-up and low-light enhancement features. These will automatically improve the user’s appearance and adjust the lighting, ensuring a more confident and enjoyable video call experience. These features will be rolled out to all users in the near future.
