Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has announced exciting new features for WhatsApp to enhance the personalization of video calls with filters and backgrounds. Following the introduction of voice chat mode and image editing features, these new features aim to make video calls more engaging.
WhatApp’s latest beta update for Android (2.24.16.7) brings facial filters and interactive effects to add a personal touch to their video chats. 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.
In addition, a background editing tool lets people blur their surroundings or choose from various default backgrounds, like a lively city skyline or a peaceful beach sunset. The update also includes helpful features like Touch Up for a smoother appearance and Low Light tool for better visibility.
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.
Currently, these features are available to some users who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp on both Android and iOS. More users can expect to see these features rolling out in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp is bringing a new security feature for Android users with a new beta update. Now, WhatsApp beta testers enjoy a new security feature that helps to block unwanted messages from unknown accounts.
The Block unknown account messages option of WhatsApp is available to some beta testers who have installed the latest beta from the Google Play Store. WhatsApp plans to roll it out to more users in the coming weeks.
The new update of WhatsApp for Android can be identified via version. 2.24.20.16. However, the new feature was already revealed in 2.24.17.14, and now, it is rolling out for beta users. It makes WhatsApp safer and more secure for everyone.
Blocked Messages from Unknown Accounts
The latest update introduces a security feature that allows users to block messages from unknown accounts if they send too many messages in a short period.
Moreover, this feature helps protect against spam and potentially harmful communications. Users can find this option in their privacy settings under the Advanced section.
When activated, it keeps an eye on incoming messages from unknown contacts. If an unknown account sends a lot of messages quickly, WhatsApp will temporarily block those messages. Still, users will receive important messages from unknown contacts.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android, which brings the ability to create custom chat filters right from the chats list. This update is available with version 2.24.20.13 through the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh feature makes it easier for users to manage their conversations. Now, a new button will appear in the chats list, which allows users to create custom lists quickly. Users can select specific contacts and group chats to generate filters that display only the conversations they want to see.
In addition, users will have a convenient option at the bottom of their chats to manage these lists. They’ll be able to add or remove people and groups or rename their filters with just a few taps. It makes the filtering feature more visible and user-friendly.
In earlier beta versions, users had to go into the settings to create lists, which many found complicated. The new update addresses this by providing a simple way to manage chats.
The new feature of creating custom chat filters for WhatsApp is currently in development and will be included in a future update. Users can look forward to a more organized chat experience soon. Stay tuned for more updates for more information.
