The new doodle feature lets you get creative with images and videos you share (WhatsApp Blog)
Facebook's
mobile messaging app WhatsApp has started rolling out an update that
brings Snapchat-like doodling features. Users can now doodle on photos
and videos they share with friends and family over the messaging
platform.
"Today we're introducing new ways to customize and
enhance the photos and videos you share with friends and family around
the world. With WhatsApp's new camera features, you can now write or
draw on photos and videos, as well as add emoji to express yourself,"
reads a statement on their website.
The
company is referring to it more as a camera feature through which you
can capture a new photo or video and you will automatically see editing
tools. Prior to this, photos and videos could only be cropped and given a
title.
In addition, one can randomly place emojis and shapes on
the image they click or share as shown in the picture above. To give it a
more customized look, the text colour and font style can also be
changed. All of these features can be tried on any existing photos or
videos in the library/gallery as well.
The new update claims users
obsessed with selfies can rely on their front-facing flash support
(only for those phones that have a front camera flash). There is also a
convenient zooming feature for recording videos.
The company says
the latest update is already available for all Android users and will
hit iOS users soon. Earlier, there were reports of WhatsApp introducing
features such as video calling and passcode protection, none of which have yet made their way to the messenger.
