Whatsapp filters, backgrounds not avaliable

Hi, Whatsapp introduced filters in video calls:

On my Android FP6 I am not able to use them (there is no magic wand) .

I find this strange, they are supported on Motorola e15, a 70€ phone with 2GB of RAM… It feels a downgrade, moving from a 70€ phone to a 600€ phone and less capabilities :worried:

I never use WA VideoCalls however tested ot now and indeed on the FP5 its available ond the FP6 not… Best is to open a support topic for this.

Edit: also on the FP4 its available, and its the same for WA and WA Business.

There has been one person with FP6 on Reddit complaining about the WA filters and being unable to turn them off.
It feels like inconsistent experience or indeed a bug…

For reference the Reddit topic

I’ve opened a ticket since a couple of weeks, hopefully someone gets back.
so far the issue is not present in the Public Issue Tracker (makes sense since last update was beginning of November)
