The update includes 10 filters and 10 backgrounds that users can apply to enhance their WhatsApp video calling experience. The filters range from classic options like “Black & White” and “Vintage TV” to more artistic effects like “Light leak” and “Prism light.” The background options offer variety, from practical settings like “Office” and “Coffee” to graphic options like “Beach” and “Sunset.”
In addition to filters and backgrounds, WhatsApp is introducing “Touch up” and “Low Light” options for video calls. These features aim to enhance the user’s appearance and improve video in suboptimal lighting conditions, potentially preventing awkwardness during calls.

The feature will be available for both individual and group WhatsApp video calls. The new filters and backgrounds are expected to be available to all WhatsApp users in the coming weeks.
The introduction of new video call effects follows the launch of a new event planning feature in August, which allows WhatsApp users to organize events, meetings, and social gatherings directly in a group chat.
