New Camera Effects And Selfie Stickers On WhatsApp

WhatsApp new features (1)

Last year, WhatsApp introduced camera effects for video calls. Now, the platform has extended the feature to photos or videos in one-to-one or group conversations. Users can choose from 30 backgrounds, filters, and effects to change their backgrounds, apply colorful filters to their faces, or add fun elements using AR effects.

In addition to camera effects for photos and videos, WhatsApp has launched selfie stickers, a feature that lets users convert their selfies straight to stickers. To do this, users can tap the sticker button, hit Create, and then select the camera option. After this, users can take a selfie and turn it into a sticker. While the feature is currently available on Android, it is soon coming to iOS devices.
