The update comes with ten different filters, such as Warm, Cool, and Vintage TV. Users can choose one that matches their mood or the vibe of their conversation.

To use these features, simply tap the effects icon in the top right corner during a video call, allowing for quick changes to backgrounds and filters.
Zuckerberg has recently shared screenshots showing off these new options, highlighting how easy it is for users to personalize their video calls. These new options make conversations with friends, family, or colleagues more enjoyable.
