WhatsApp is making video calls even more engaging for iPhone users by introducing Augmented Reality (AR) effects and filters. The feature, which was previously implemented in FaceTime as well as Google Meet, is now coming to the WhatsApp iOS beta interface. As in the current beta, version 24. 17. 10. 74, now available on Apple TestFlight, users can find a series of AR-based additions that would make the video call experience richer and more visually entertaining.

WABetaInfo providing insights about WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.17.10.74 revealed that the filters are still under development and are intended to provide users with a method to have more control over their looks on video calls. The new update allows the user to swipe through the filter and change the facial tone and the background from the normal to more enhanced colours of beaches or the blurred background. Also, the new beta offers the touch-up mode that allows erasing pimples or any imperfections while filming and offers a polished, smooth skin.

New Features Overview

The update incorporates a set of AR filters and effects that let users customise their video calls by changing the shades of colour and adding various graphic elements. Arguably the most notable feature is the touch-up mode, which is essentially skin filter that gets rid of the blemishes, enhances shine, and makes people look camera-ready.

However, users will be able to choose the background, for example, landscape of a beach or choose to have a blur effect to reduce the probability of what is behind them. All of these features do not only provide aesthetics to the video call but also serves different needs for different kinds of video call situations.

Transforming Video Calls

The addition of AR filters on WhatsApp can completely change how people feel about making video calls. By adding real-time effects and enhancements, WhatsApp is putting itself in a place that considers itself a key player in the constantly expanding video calling industry. These features will enable users to personalize their call environment to practically make virtual communications feel like a live interaction. This could be a game changer for millions of users worldwide as AR technology continues to seep into daily usage scenarios.

This is evident with the recent beta version of WhatsApp for iOS devices showing that the app is gradually embracing the advancement of other features to improve user experience. With AR filters, touch-up modes, and background effects, WhatsApp is opening a new chapter in how we can use video calls. Currently in the beta version, the AR features will be available to all the users shortly, which will be a major development for the app. As virtual meetings persist in shaping modern communication, implementing AR in WhatsApp could be the first step towards revolutionizing how people connect in the digital world.
