WhatsApp is expanding its avatar feature. The popular messaging app is working on a new update that will display users’ avatars in the chat info screen. This development follows the recent announcement about giving users more control over who can use their avatars in stickers.
According to WaBetaInfo, the upcoming feature will allow users to showcase their avatars alongside their profile pictures, offering a more personalised touch to their chats.
WhatsApp is also planning a separate update to enhance the overall look of avatars, providing users with more customisation options. This update will automatically apply a new look to existing avatars, but users will retain the ability to make further adjustments as desired.
WhatsApp Avatars are personalised digital versions of yourself that can be used as stickers or profile pictures. You can customise your avatar’s appearance, from hair and skin tone to clothing and accessories. It’s a creative way to express yourself and add a personal touch to your chats. You can also use them to create expressive stickers for any conversation. Whether you’re feeling happy, sad, or surprised, there’s an avatar sticker to match your mood. It’s a playful way to communicate and add some personality to your messages.
In a related news, WhatsApp is also working on to revamp its verification system. It is replacing its traditional green badge for verified channels and businesses with a blue checkmark. The blue checkmark will serve as a clear indicator of authenticity, helping users easily identify genuine accounts and protect themselves from scams just like how it is seen in Facebook and Instagram.
