With more people relying on WhatsApp for video calls , the app has introduced a new low-light mode to enhance the clarity of video calls in dim lighting conditions. Here's a quick look at how this feature works and how to use it.

# Boosting Video Call Quality in Low Light

Low-light mode, which has already been useful for taking photos in poor lighting, is now being used to improve video call quality on WhatsApp. Many users face grainy visuals during calls, especially when using the front camera in dimly lit environments. This new feature aims to resolve that issue, ensuring clearer and brighter video calls without the need for external lighting or changing locations.

# How to Use WhatsApp's Low-Light Mode for Video Calls

If you’ve received the latest WhatsApp update , you can start using the low-light mode by following these steps:

  • Open WhatsApp on your iOS or Android device.
  • Initiate a video call with a contact.
  • Tap the light bulb icon on the top-right corner of the screen during the call.
  • You can toggle the feature on or off depending on your lighting conditions.
  • This feature is gradually rolling out to users with the latest app version, so make sure your app is updated.

  • Other Exciting WhatsApp Features

    WhatsApp continues to enhance user experience with new updates. Recent additions include improved Status Updates and the introduction of Channels for better engagement. For iOS users, WhatsApp is also testing a new chat theme picker, allowing you to customize chat backgrounds for individual conversations. This feature, available in beta, is expected to roll out soon for both Android and iOS users.

    Stay tuned for more updates from WhatsApp as the app keeps evolving to meet user needs.
