WhatsApp Avatars: Visible vanity is all the rage
Avatars are very popular on various platforms and are increasingly used in communication and self-expression. Snapchat, for example, relied on Bitmojis early on. A few months ago, TikTok also developed its own avatars based on this model, which users of the entertainment app can now use. On Twitter, on the other hand, Snapchat Bitmojis should be able to be used directly as an account’s profile picture. SMS is currently working on this.
On the other hand, Meta is a step forward and allows early users on Instagram to replace their profile picture with an avatar integration. The social group has also introduced avatars for the WhatsApp messaging app. We already reported at the end of June that video calling avatars will be introduced in the app – a beta version of this feature is already in the works. Now WhatsApp experts are reporting from WABetaInfo On her own blog About function to be able to set avatars as profile pictures. Researchers discovered the feature in beta testing phase on Android. This allows uploading and editing of the avatar. In addition, users can then set the background color that should be the basis for the avatar visible in the app ad.
According to WABetaInfo, the functionality should also be available for beta versions on iOS and on the web. However, since it is still in an early development stage, its official publication cannot be expected.
