Meta Presents 10 New Effects For WhatsApp Video Calls On Desktop And Mobile

JAKARTA - Ahead of the year-end holidays, WhatsApp introduced several new features to improve the experience of phone calls or videos on mobile and desktop applications.

With more than 2 billion phone calls made on WhatsApp every day, this new feature is designed to make it easier for users to contact their relatives.

"We are introducing new phone calling features on desktop and mobile, making connecting with loved ones easier than ever," Meta wrote in an announcement on its official blog on Thursday, December 12.

First, now that you start a call from a group chat, you can select a particular participant, so you can call anyone you want without disturbing the others.

Second, Meta adds ten new effects that can be used during video calls, starting from adding a puppy's ear or giving you a karaoke microphone.

Especially for WhatsApp desktop, now that you click the call tab on the WhatsApp application, you will easily find everything you need to start a call, create a call link, or contact a number directly.

Lastly, whether you're calling from a desktop or a cell phone, Meta adds a higher video resolution with clearer images on 1:1 or group calls.

"We will continue to make improvements to the calls on WhatsApp so that you can make private calls with the best quality from around the world," concluded the company.
