WhatsApp Camera Effects are not showing up - help

SheikhJamirAlam

Got my Nothing Phone 3a Pro within a week of its lauch from Flipkart. I noticed a problem when using Whatsapp. I haven’t been able to use the Whatsapp camera effects on this phone. Even though the settings “Allow camera effects” is switched ON. The effects button itself is gone while in video call or camera.
If anyone can confirm that they can use the Camera effects on Nothing phone 3a pro that would be great.

On P3a its available. Maybe try reinstalling WhatsApp and update everything on your phone.

Soumyajit_26 Checked still the same thing. That “Camera effects” icon is simply not there.

Yeah!!! Even i cannot see the WhatsApp Camera effects in my 3apro???. Any solution for this?

SheikhJamirAlam

millennial_doc Not sure if there is a solution for this. I think its something to do with the software. But why does it work on p3a and not on pro? Feels like the pro is worse.

@SheikhJamirAlam @millennial_doc guys add a feedback using the feedback option. Seems like a bug, should get fixed soon. Also check if everything is up to date.

Settings -> System => Feedback

Soumyajit_26 Bro all I am getting is “Go to nearest service centre”.

They provided some checks, basic stuff like reinstall, restart stuffs. One was to Ensure Display over other Apps was on. But my Phone 3a Pro does not have Display over other Apps for WhatsApp.

I replied to the email with that but next email came to visit the service centre.

SheikhJamirAlam This bug should get resolved in the next update. seems like a software bug. Reporting it via the feedback option will let Nothing team know that many people are facing this.

Soumyajit_26 Did not get any solutions yet brother. Is there no way to tag anyone from Nothing team here?
