WhatsApp is working on its best Snapchat impression with new AR filters
- WhatsApp is working on a new set of filters and call effects using AR.
- A low-light and new touch-up mode should offer extra flexibility.
- Lists will let you organize contacts and groups for quick communication.
Say what you will about AI making it such that you can’t trust anything you see anymore — when it comes to sending video to friends, sometimes dressing things up with a filter is just plain fun. A little earlier this summer, WhatsApp started working on its own AR mode for filters and call effects. Today we’re checking out a couple of the app’s latest beta releases, bringing that in-development AR filter to more testers than ever, plus revealing the latest work towards a new tool for organizing contacts.
The first sign of WhatsApp’s work on its AR filters emerged just about a month ago, when the feature was initially made available to a limited group of beta testers on Android. That development on Android still continues, but now WABetaInfo shares that iOS testers can join in the fun as well, with the new version 24.17.10.74 update.
