WhatsApp is working to make the video calls even more engaging and fun thanks to the introduction of filters AR. Initially available only to a limited group of beta testers on Android, the feature is now also accessible to iOS testers with the update to version 24.17.10.74, as revealed by WABetaInfo.
A new instrument is also in the pipeline (“List“) to organize contacts and communicate even faster.
WhatsApp AR Filters Are Coming
In addition to the classic creative filters, WhatsApp is also introducing some filters practical to improve the video calling experience. Among these, a low-light filter stands out, which will allow clear conversations even in less than optimal lighting conditions.
Furthermore, a retouch mode will allow you to hide any imperfections, making video calls more pleasant and confidential. But the real novelty is the tool of change backgroundwhich will allow you to blur or replace the background with a predefined scene, thus ensuring greater privacy and a more professional look.
New features for organizing contacts
In addition to AR filters, WhatsApp is also developing new list-building features in the 2.24.18.9 beta for Android. These lists can be made up of individual contacts or multiple groups, similar to how WhatsApp Business handles labels. The goal is to let users quickly communicate with contacts who share common interests, without having to create one large group where everyone can interact with each other. This could be especially useful for managing projects or events.
A more interactive and organized future
The introduction of the filters AR and of the instrument of lists marks a major step forward for WhatsApp, which aims to make the user experience more engaging and increasingly personalized. We just have to wait for the official release to discover all the potential of these innovative and fun tools.
