WhatsApp brings low-light Video Calling mode: How to activate it?

Follow us on

WhatsApp has rolled out a new update that enhances the video calling experience for its users. In the new update, now the customers will be able to use the Low-Light Mode during video calls. The feature has been designed to improve the video quality in dimly lit settings. While the users might have noticed the new filters and backgrounds feature during the VC, the Low-Light Mode, on the other hand, is a standout feature that may have slipped under the radar.

What is WhatsApp’s Low-Light Mode?

As the name suggests, the Low-Light Mode aims to enhance video quality during calls in low-light environments. While testing and experiencing the feature, the overall brightness significantly improves, providing extra illumination to the face and reducing graininess that can disrupt video clarity in the dark.

This means that your friends and family can see you better, no matter the lighting conditions.

How to enable the Low-Light Mode on WhatsApp

Getting started with Low-Light Mode is easy. Follow the steps to enable it:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Make a video call.
3. Expand your video feed to full screen.
4. Tap the 'Bulb' icon at the top right corner to activate Low-Light Mode.
5. To disable the feature, simply tap the Bulb icon again.

This intuitive interface ensures that you can quickly toggle the feature as needed.
