WhatsApp to soon get AR filters and effects for video calls

Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will enhance video calling experience by allowing users to apply various effects and filters.

According to WABetaInfo, the new effects and filters lets users customise their appearance and change the overall colour tone of their feed by letting them choose from a wide range of dynamic facial filters. In addition to this, WhatsApp is also working on a new background editing tool, which, similar to Google Meet will enable users to either blur their surroundings or replace it with one of the preset backgrounds available in the app.
