HD Video Calls
Meta will enable HD video calls by default for users on WiFi. This upgrade will improve clarity and enhance the video calling experience. Users can also choose to turn on HD video calls when using mobile data.

Noise Suppression Features
Meta is introducing background noise suppression and voice isolation. These features will allow for clearer calls, enhancing sound quality during conversations.

Voice Messages

Siri Integration
iOS users can utilize Siri to send messages directly through Messenger. Simply say, “Hey Siri, send a message to [contact name] on Messenger,” and dictate your message.

AI-Generated Backgrounds
Meta plans to include AI-generated backgrounds in Messenger video calls. These backgrounds can reflect the user’s mood or add a fun element to calls. While opinions on these images vary, they offer a unique option for video chats.
