WhatsApp users can now create avatars for use as stickers.
WhatsApp rolls out avatars update
The Meta-owned messaging service has given users a way to represent their personalities with the avatars that were already available on Facebook and Instagram.
There are 36 custom stickers with different expressions, which can be used as a profile picture or sent in chat.
Meta wrote in a blog post: “Sending an avatar is a fast and fun way to share feelings with friends and family.
“It can also be a great way to represent yourself without using your real photo so it feels more private.”
WhatsApp has vowed to add some “style enhancements” to “make avatars even better over time”.
