WhatsApp will soon get avatars like Facebook’s Bitmoji, says report

After previous reports that WhatsApp is working on letting users set up avatar profile photos, the instant messaging service is now reportedly rolling out the avatars feature to some beta testers. The avatars feature will allow users to set up a digital version of themselves and set it up as a profile photo and maybe even use it during video calls.

The new feature was first reported by WABetaInfo and is reported to be compatible with WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.23.8 and 2.22.23.9. After you are done configuring your Avatar, WhatsApp will make create a new sticker pack that you can share with others on the platform. You can also choose an avatar as your profile photo on WhatsApp.
