Meta recently introduced Avatars on Instagram after initially introducing them to Facebook to rival Snapchat’s Bitmoji and Apple’s Memoji. It seems like this functionality is soon to get extended to WhatsApp as suggested by the latest WABetaInfo report. Here are the details to know.
A recent WABetaInfo report suggests that WhatsApp is testing introducing Avatars to video calls. This was spotted on WhatsApp for Android beta. The feature will allow people to add their Avatars during a video call.
However, the feature is currently under development and hence, isn’t functional. But this won’t be the only purpose of Avatars on WhatsApp. It is also revealed that people will soon be able to send Avatars as stickers to individual and group WhatsApp chats, similar to Instagram and Facebook.
