An avatar for every occasion! WhatsApp makes communication fun with new feature
WhatsApp’s new feature lets users create avatars and stickers.

The digital avatar is a virtual version of the user that can be created from billions of combinations of diverse hairstyles, facial features and clothing. Users can now also keep their personalised avatar as their profile photo or choose from 36 custom stickers that reflect numerous actions and emotions.
“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,” the company said in an official release.
The company said that it will continue to deliver style enhancements including shading, lighting, hairstyles, and lightning to the avatars. It will be working towards enhancing the avatars over time.
Steps To Use Avatars on WhatsApp
To start using avatars, users need to open WhatsApp chat and go to the stickers options. In iOS, the sticker option can be seen in the chat box - the section where you input text. On Android, tap the emoji symbol in the chatbot, at the bottom one will see a sticker option next to the GIF search. In case your device shows Avatars, the app will display them when you go to the stickers option inside a chat.
