Meta to introduce Facebook’s bitmoji-style avatars to WhatsApp: Reports

Social media giant Facebook’s Bitmoji-style avatars, which earlier invaded Instagram and Messenger, are now also coming to Whatsapp.

According to The Verge, a report from WABetaInfo suggests that WhatsApp is rolling out support for customizable avatars in the latest 2.22.23.9 beta on Android, but only for some users.

Those with access to the feature will see a new ‘Avatar’ category in their settings menu that they can use to customize the digital version of themselves.

Similar to Meta’s other apps, WhatsApp will then generate a sticker pack with the avatar in various poses, which users can use to express themselves when messaging family and friends.
