WhatsApp video calls for iPhone will include AR effects and creative filters. Call filters and effects make the experience more interactive than a dull screen with a face. AR may improve calling, and WeBetaInfo has fresh information suggesting these capabilities may soon be included to the messaging app.

WaBetaInfo reported this week that iOS beta version 24.15.10.70 is testing the new functionality. We saw the tool tested on Android earlier this year, and the iPhone testing signal a broader rollout soon.

“Users will be able to personalise their calls by enabling dynamic facial filters, such as a touch-up tool for smoothing skin appearance and a low-light mode to improve visibility in dim environments,” the article says. AR has been suggested to improve calling, thus WhatsApp’s desire to include it isn’t unusual.

Touch-up will smooth your skin and apply facial effects like Instagram, while low-light will clean your face in low light.

We also saw that WhatsApp is exploring the background-changing feature that Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet provide. The tipster found the testing interface with filters, backdrop, and effects underneath the calling interface.

WhatsApp is also contemplating major design updates, including the option to modify chat bubble colors and interfaces. Users may delete their phone numbers and use usernames on the chat app.
