Subtly enhance your appearance with portrait touch-up when using Google Meet on mobile devices

What’s changing 

Introducing portrait retouching in Meet, a new mobile feature that lets you lightly edit your appearance before joining or during a meeting. Even if your appearance isn't perfect, portrait editing is available to help you look your best. You can choose from two vertical editing modes:

• Delicate: very lightly smoothes the skin, brightens the skin under the eyes and whitens the eyes.
• Smoothing: smoothes the skin a bit, brightens the skin under the eyes and whitens the eyes.

This update has been highly requested by our users and we hope that by providing the ability to slightly improve their appearance, they will feel more comfortable and confident with the way they appear. during video calls.
