WhatsApp will have a long-awaited feature: what it is about
Popular messengers are constantly improving and adding various features to attract new users. And WhatsApp is planning such an update.
According to the iTechUA publication, it is about filters for the messenger's built-in camera. Soon, it will learn to improve the quality of photos and add effects to them.
The update is already being tested. It was spotted in the latest beta version of the WhatsApp app 2.24.20.20 for Android. Some users are now able to apply filters to the photos they take while taking a photo in a chat.
Among the filters that have become available in the beta version are several color filters, as well as a skin smoothing function and a background blur or change. Previously, users complained that WhatsApp required them to go to the standard camera app of their smartphone, take a picture there, process it, and then come back and send it. Now, all the necessary actions can be performed right in the messaging window.
It is known that Telegram, WhatsApp's main competitor, has long offered photo editing capabilities. However, its tools offer few artistic possibilities. You can adjust the white balance, sharpness, adjust a few basic settings, or draw something on the photo, add a sticker or text to it. WhatsApp will give its users more creative filters.
