WhatsApp bringing new tools for avatar customization

WhatsApp is regularly working on new features to improve user privacy and personalization in its latest beta updates for Android. At the moment, WhatsApp is testing a feature that will show avatars in the chat info screen with the latest beta update.

The new feature will let users see your avatar when someone looks at your profile picture in a chat. This will help users express themselves better in conversations, similar to how Instagram shows avatars in user profiles.

Moreover, WhatsApp plans to release a separate update that will give avatars a new look for even more customization. Users will get a notification to update when this feature is available. After installation, they will edit their avatars anytime to match their style.

Notably, WhatsApp announced this new privacy feature in version 2.24.6.8. This update allowed users to decide who can use their avatars in stickers. This means that only trusted contacts will be able to include a user’s avatar in their stickers, enhancing privacy and security. Now, the company is providing new tools for customizing avatars with the latest beta update.

These Avatar features are still in development and WhatsApp will release them in future updates. Users can expect to see the ability to manage who can use their avatars and the new avatar display option in the chat info screen soon. Stay tuned for more details.
