AVATAR

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.21.3, we posted first information about avatars, a new way to express yourself on WhatsApp. Thanks to avatars, you can personalize your identity by setting up a digital expression within WhatsApp Settings. Thanks to the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.23.9 update, some lucky beta testers are finally able to set up an avatar!

As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp will automatically create a new sticker pack after configuring an avatar so you can share stickers with your friends and family. In addition, you can also choose an avatar to use as your profile photo on WhatsApp. If you’re looking for a way to discover if the feature is available for your WhatsApp account, you need to open WhatsApp Settings: if you see here a new section called “Avatar”, it means you can already start creating an avatar today!
Since this feature has just been released to some users, you may experience some small issues when configuring an avatar: in this case, please keep trying until you’ve configured the best appearance for your avatar.

The ability to set up an avatar has been released to some lucky beta testers after installing the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Play Store. As always, if you don’t have this feature, don’t worry: more users will be able to configure an avatar over the coming weeks so be sure to keep your version of WhatsApp up to date in the meantime.
