- Google is working to incorporate Low Light Boost for the Google Messages in-app camera preview.
- The feature brightens the viewfinder in real time to aid framing in dimly lit scenarios.
- However, Low Light Boost does not affect the final photo quality, as it only affects the camera preview, not the output image.

Low Light Boost is an Android feature that brightens the real-time camera stream in apps. Low Light Boost works instantly on camera previews in the app, unlike Night Mode, which improves final image quality but requires the user to hold still for a bit. Both features can be used together to achieve the best results.
