Facebook Messenger gets HD video calls and AI backgrounds | Infinium-tech
Today Meta announced several improvements to its Facebook Messenger. The app (finally) gets HD video calls, as well as background noise suppression and voice isolation “to help you make clear, high-quality calls” – an absolutely essential feature in our book. The company promises that calls on Messenger will “feel more like being in the same room together than ever before”.
HD will be enabled by default for calls made via Wi-Fi, and you can manually turn it on for mobile data calls. Both background noise suppression and sound isolation can be enabled through call settings.
You can also leave audio or video messages when your friends don’t pick up – just tap “Record message” for unanswered audio and video calls.
Messenger is also getting AI backgrounds in video calls “soon”, which will “add a little excitement to your calls”. To create a background, tap the Effects icon in the sidebar of your next video call.
Finally, on iOS you can now ask Siri to help you make Messenger calls and send messages.
