Author: Users will be able to use digital avatars instead of themselves in video calls, a new feature coming to WhatsApp. For the convenience of users, we are not unaware that WhatsApp, the world's most popular instant messaging platform owned by Meta, often rolls out new features. The company is constantly experimenting with new features so that users can chat, video and voice call very easily and smoothly through this app. In that case, it has been reported that the company is working on a great feature to make the calling experience of the users more fun and enriching. According to reports, WhatsApp is now working on a feature that will allow you to show your face during video calls if you wish! What, are you very surprised to hear? Wondering what's new if you turn off the camera?
The fact of the matter is that with the advent of the new feature, you will be able to use your own digital avatar instead of WhatsApp video calls. The news came in a recent report from WhatsApp's feature tracker WABetaInfo. For those of you who don't know, Apple's iPhone and several other devices already have this feature called 'Memoji'. This virtual avatar works according to user expressions during video calls. And after seeing Apple, WhatsApp has also started to roll out this same feature. With the advent of the feature, users will be able to change their avatar at any time during a video call.
In this case, the report of WABetaInfo says that when the new feature is rolled out, users will see a new option on the video call screen in WhatsApp. By clicking on this 'Switch to avatar' option, users will see their cartoon-like avatar on the screen instead of their own appearance. WABetaInfo also shared a screenshot of the upcoming feature. It is learned that this new feature is currently being tested in the beta version of Android. So it is not possible to say for sure right now when it will have a stable rollout.
Also new feature for group calling
Meanwhile, the company has recently rolled out a new feature for group calls. Now you can mute any user if you want a host during group calling on WhatsApp. In fact, it is often the case that many of those who are joining the group call hear unwanted external noises during the call due to the noisy environment around them. In that case, if for some reason the participants forgot to mute themselves, so far there was no way to get rid of this external noise. But now, if you want a host, you can mute all those users and solve group call episodes very easily and seamlessly.
