WhatsApp wants you to take its video calls seriously and not want to use other apps like Zoom or even Messenger. To do this the application will allow us to apply you can apply filters or masks to our faces and change the background.

It’s relatively common for video calling apps to include all kinds of features. filters, masks and backgrounds, but today WhatsApp does not include anything similar. This will surely change in the future.

WhatsApp is more like Messenger

We learned from WaBetaInfo that WhatsApp is preparing to add this feature filters on your video callsEven though it seems like a lie, it’s still something it doesn’t contain. Although it was leaked months ago that WhatsApp would allow us to use our 3D avatar in video calls, it is still not active as of today.

Now we know that things will go even further and video calls will be made on WhatsApp. They will be similar to those of the Prophetwith a lower bar where we can choose filters, backgrounds and effects. We’ve yet to see examples of what filters, backgrounds or effects will be available at launch, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think WhatsApp is borrowing some of the most popular ones from in-house apps like Instagram or Messenger.

This innovation means we can use 3D masks in video calls and various filtersSomething common to many similar applications such as Google Meet, Instagram, Messenger.

It’s also interesting that we can change our backgroundThis means WhatsApp will automatically cut out the background and replace it with something, whether it’s blurred or a completely different image. This is common in many video conferencing applications such as Zoom.

Now We don’t know when this news will come This will take WhatsApp video calls a step further. It is also worth noting that in WhatsApp video calls with up to 32 people, you can share the screen with voice, which is not very common in mobile applications.
