WhatsApp is rolling out exciting new features aimed at enhancing the video call experience. Users can now personalize their calls with filters and backgrounds, making conversations more engaging and visually appealing. These features are similar to what competitors like Zoom offer, but tailored for WhatsApp’s primarily social user base.
The app introduces 10 background options, such as Blur, Office, Living Room, Café, Beach, and Sunset, which allow users to hide clutter or instantly transform their surroundings. Additionally, 10 filters—like Warm, Cool, Black & White, and Vintage TV—offer fun ways to change the mood of your video.
