WhatsApp has some new camera features

WhatsApp has announced changes to the way we share pictures with the people we chat with, allowing users to write or draw on pictures and add emojis too!

When you capture a new photo or video or share one that’s already on your phone, you’ll automatically see the new editing tools. Whether you’re drawing a big red heart to show how much you miss someone or adding your favorite emoji – sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Try adding text too, and change the color and font style.

The WhatsApp camera feature now supports the front-facing flash so you can take the perfect selfie. In low light and at night, this will brighten up your screen and improve the quality of your photo. We’ve also added a convenient zooming feature for recording videos – just slide your finger up and down to zoom in and out. And to quickly switch between front and rear facing cameras, double tap on the screen.

The new WhatsApp features were rolled out on the Android app starting 3rd October and will be rolled out to iOS soon as well.
