Meta has recently announced several updates to its audio and video calling features on Messenger and Facebook. These updates are designed to improve the overall calling experience, especially during the upcoming holiday season.
One of the most significant updates is the introduction of HD video calls, which will be enabled by default for Wi-Fi calls. This means users can expect clearer and more detailed video quality during their calls. While HD video calls will initially be available only on Wi-Fi, Meta plans to extend this feature to mobile data in the future.
To further enhance the calling experience, Meta is also rolling out background noise suppression and voice isolation features. These features will help to minimize background noise and improve the clarity of the caller’s voice. Additionally, users will now have the option to send audio or video voice messages if the recipient is unavailable to answer a call.
For iOS users, Meta has integrated Siri support, allowing users to send text messages and make calls using voice commands. This feature can be particularly useful when users are busy or unable to access their phones directly.
Meta has also incorporated AI-generated images into its video calling experience. Users can now use AI-generated backgrounds to personalize their video calls and add a unique touch to their conversations. While this feature may not be appealing to everyone, it offers a fun and creative way to enhance video calls.
With these updates, Meta aims to provide a more engaging and high-quality video calling experience for its users. As people increasingly rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones, these improvements can be particularly valuable during the holiday season.
