Enhanced Calling Features on WhatsApp Desktop
When you click on the calls tab within the WhatsApp desktop app, a new feature offers several options to simplify making calls. You can easily find all the details required to start a call, create a call link, or directly dial a number.
Fresh Video Call Effects
WhatsApp now supports additional backgrounds and filters, featuring over 10 effects to make your video calls more fun. The company mentioned in its blog post examples like adding a microphone for karaoke, puppy ears, or an underwater effect.
Among the filter choices are Black & White, Cool, Warm, Dreamy, Light leak, Prism light, Vintage TV, Frosted glass, Fisheye, and Duo tone. Background selections include Cafe, Living room, Office, Sunset, Beach, Forest, Celebration, Foodie, and Blur.
Improved Video Call Quality
WhatsApp has announced that users can now enjoy higher definition video with clearer visuals during both one-on-one and group calls. The calls are more dependable, whether you’re using a desktop or a mobile device.
Select Call Participants
WhatsApp has introduced a feature that allows you to select which participants to call from a group chat. This means you can call specific people without disturbing others in the group. WhatsApp mentions that this feature is “ideal for planning surprise parties or presents,” suggesting that those who aren’t invited won’t be notified of their exclusion. This makes it easier to keep plans discreet!
