  • The WhatsApp video call filters are now available to use when snapping photos or videos using the app’s built-in camera.
  • WhatsApp for Android is also rolling out an option to mark all chats as read, a feature that has long been available on the iOS client.
  • WhatsApp has also started to label chats with unsent messages on the main screen.

WhatsApp has been developing a slew of new features for its Android users. Just a couple of months ago, the messaging app introduced filters and AR effects for video calls. The Meta-owned platform is now expanding these filters’ availability to the built-in camera. This allows you to apply the company’s filters on photos and videos you shoot with the app.
