WhatsApp launches avatars

WhatsApp users can create avatars choosing from billions of combinations of hair styles, face features and outfits.

“On WhatsApp, you can now use your personalized avatar as your profile photo or choose from 36 custom stickers reflecting many different emotions and actions,” Meta said.

WhatsApp will continue to deliver style enhancements, including lighting, shading, and hair style textures.

“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.”
