WhatsApp working toward allowing users to set up avatar profile photos: Report

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that would allow users to set up “Avatar” profile photos. It was earlier reported that the Meta-owned instant messaging service is working on a feature that would allow users to answer video calls while using an animated avatar.

WABeta reports that WhatsApp is setting up an Avatar profile photo feature that would allow users to set a customised avatar as a display picture. A screenshot obtained by the WhatsApp information portal shows how users would be able to customise and choose an avatar, choose a background colour and set an avatar as a profile photo.
