If you’re a regular WhatsApp user, you may have noticed a small update: a heart icon appearing in statuses. This feature is part of WhatsApp’s latest updates aimed at enriching the user experience. Recently, the app introduced options that allow you to interact better with your loved ones via statuses and video calls. Here’s a look at the new features.

Spread the Love with « Likes » in WhatsApp Statuses 💚

WhatsApp has updated its « Status » tab with several new features. The most notable is the ability to react to statuses with a « Like » represented by a heart. This reaction, visible only to the person who posted the status, lets you express your appreciation more personally without needing to send a message. An interesting detail: there is no public count for these likes, emphasizing the private nature of the interaction.

In addition to this new option, WhatsApp has introduced private mentions. Now, you can mention a friend or loved one in your status without the mention being visible to everyone. Only the mentioned person will receive a private notification and can share the status with their own circle. It’s an ideal way to personalize your interactions without cluttering your public feed.

These updates aim to make statuses more interactive while maintaining privacy. More features are expected in the coming months, with additions to both the « Status » and « News » tabs.

Add Creativity to Your Video Calls with Filters and Backgrounds 🎥

In another update, WhatsApp has also enhanced video calls by integrating new filters and backgrounds. If you’re looking to add a touch of originality to your conversations, this update is for you. Whether you want to change the atmosphere of your call or hide your surroundings, these new visual effects are designed to meet various needs.

WhatsApp offers a choice of 10 filters, ranging from warm tones to black and white. More artistic options like « light prism » or « vintage TV » are also available. You can also choose from 10 backgrounds, such as a cozy café, a sunset, or even a soothing forest. These options allow you to personalize your calls based on your preferences and make conversations more fun and engaging.

Finally, the platform hasn’t forgotten about user comfort. Touch-up and lighting adjustment options are also available to ensure a more flattering appearance, even in difficult lighting conditions.

These new features will gradually be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks, promising a significant transformation of the video call experience on WhatsApp.
