WhatsApp Tests Night Mode for Improved Low-Light Photos
WhatsApp is developing a new 'night mode' for its camera that helps improve photos taken in the dark.
When you take a picture in low light, the app will make it brighter and clearer by changing the settings automatically.
You'll need to turn it on by tapping a moon icon in the camera.
The new feature is being tested on Android and may roll out soon.
Also, the app is looking at allowing you to easily set your profile picture from your Instagram or Facebook account.
