WhatsApp introduces filters and backgrounds for video calls: What’s new

Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced the rollout of new camera filters and backgrounds for video calls. The instant messaging app now offers users new options to change their background or add a filter during a video call.

“Filters are designed to help you create a more playful atmosphere, whether that’s adding a splash of colour or creating a more artistic feel for your video. With backgrounds, you can keep your surroundings private and transport yourself to a cosy coffee shop or comfortable living room for a cleaner and more polished look,” said WhatsApp.
