Meta has recently unveiled a series of new features for its Messenger app, aimed at enhancing user experience and communication capabilities. Among the key updates is the integration of noise suppression using artificial intelligence, as reported by The Verge.
One of the standout additions to Messenger is the introduction of HD video call support. This feature is complemented by the implementation of AI-generated backgrounds, allowing users to customize their video calling experience.
HD video calls are now seamlessly enabled when connected to Wi-Fi, with the option to activate them for mobile data calls through the Call Settings menu. This menu also provides users with controls to adjust noise suppression levels and modify the audio output during calls. Additionally, Meta has introduced the ability for users to leave voice or video messages within the app.
While features like HD video calls and noise suppression have been available on platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and FaceTime, Meta is now bringing these functionalities to Messenger. Users can also experiment with AI-generated backgrounds by accessing the effects icon in the call's sidebar and describing their desired backdrop, which will then be generated by Meta's AI.
In addition to enhancing the video calling experience, Meta has integrated AI-generated image creation within Messenger chats, Facebook, and Instagram platforms. This feature aims to further enrich visual communication across these platforms.
Furthermore, Meta has introduced hands-free functionality for making calls and sending messages via Apple's Siri voice assistant. By simply invoking Messenger in a Siri request, users can seamlessly initiate interactions on the Meta app without switching between different applications.
