Summary: WhatsApp’s new beta update will allow users to use camera filters for pictures. WhatsApp customers may now use voice commands to communicate with Meta AI hands-free.

A new beta version of WhatsApp has been released for Android users. Users can apply filters to the camera with the upgrade, according to a WABetaInfo report. WhatsApp is now expanding this capability to the camera in addition to the video calls that were previously limited to using these filters.

A new filter button has been added to the Android beta testers' camera interface. With just a tap, users will be able to apply filters to videos and pictures, simplifying the process of editing them.

WhatsApp users will discover skin-smoothing choices that minimize imperfections or uneven skin tones to improve complexion. This filter is useful for selfies since users could desire a professional-looking yet natural look.

WhatsApp has added the ability to change the background in the app's camera. This feature was accessible during video calls. With the help of this tool, users can blur their background completely for a sleeker look, or replace it with virtual scenes.

Mark Zuckerberg also revealed that WhatsApp users can now use voice commands to communicate in real-time, hands-free, using Meta AI. The tool allows users to choose a meta-AI voice built after a famous person or celebrity. This service will originally be available in English.

Users can now speak to Meta AI and receive voice responses by pressing a waveform button. It can help to edit images by removing unnecessary elements and adjusting lighting for a more enhanced look.

Business users can now handle customer queries by integrating AI with WhatsApp Business, thanks to another update. While AI responses can have mistakes, this feature can also recommend products and respond to shipping and pricing inquiries.
