Animoji, the emoji-like characters, are becoming increasingly popular on the messaging app, but what about custom avatars? WhatsApp is looking into this possibility and will be introducing a feature that lets users create and share avatars during video calls. The avatars would be similar to Bitmoji or Memoji and will be available to use during video calls.
Animoji
Whatsapp introduces new avatars as emojis. Whatsapp is testing a new feature that allows users to switch between their existing avatar and a custom one. The feature will let users select their avatar from the “Avatar Editor” in the chat or group, and the image will be available as stickers. Avatar stickers are similar to Emoji, a popular app for iOS. WABetaInfo shared a screenshot of the feature. The new feature is available for Android users, but iPhone users may soon be able to use it, too.
As for the messaging app’s upcoming features, there are a few things to watch. WhatsApp is working on a quick reaction option for status updates. The company plans to add eight emojis, including heart-eyed smiles, crying faces, folded hands, clapping hands, party popper, and Hundred Points. A new beta version of the feature should be ready for launch shortly.
Memoji
Creating a Memoji starts by selecting your photo and saving it as a photo in the Gallery. This process is somewhat complicated. The first step is to open WhatsApp and select a photo. From there, select the three dots and press “Edit.”
Currently, only Android users can use this new feature. But users of iOS and Android can still use it to share their avatars as stickers. Until then, it’s not clear when the feature will be available for everyone. WABetaInfo has shared a screenshot of the feature for Android. The website also notes that it might come to iPhone users soon. Avatars are the new way to personalize messages and share them with others.
Animoji-Like Emoji
The upcoming feature will allow users to share avatars in conversations and video calls. A screenshot of the new feature was shared on social media. The screenshot shows what an avatar looks like and allows users to choose an image. Once chosen, users can also share their avatar as a sticker. Avatars are already available on Facebook and Instagram. WhatsApp has been working on a competitor for Memoji since March.
Creating a Memoji requires a bit of customization. Once created, users can adjust the features of their face, including eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Once created, users can share it with their friends using WhatsApp. To share an avatar, users must first open the chat window in WhatsApp. Next, they must click on the Bitmoji or sticker wink icon located at the top left of the screen.
Creating a custom sticker on WhatsApp requires some effort, but it is not a difficult process. All that’s needed is an image file and a computer with an internet connection. Users need to update the app and go to the emoji icon on the bottom right corner of the app to enable this feature.
Custom Avatars
The feature will also be available on Facebook and Instagram. Those who use WhatsApp may be interested to know that it will offer custom avatars as stickers. This feature will also have an Avatar editor section where users can edit their Avatars. It is unclear when this will be released, but the feature will be available to both Android and iPhone users. In the meantime, you can create a new Avatar for your WhatsApp profile by downloading the Bitmoji app.
Another new feature slated to be available in the next few months is the ability to make custom avatars and share them as stickers on WhatsApp. While this feature is still in development, WhatsApp is already working on a rival to Memoji. The company also plans to make its avatars for video calling. If you’d like to test the new feature for yourself, sign up for WhatsApp beta testing for Android. To do this, go to the WhatsApp page on the Google Play store. Next, scroll down to the “Becoming a Beta Tester” section. Once you’ve signed up, simply tap on “I’m in” and wait for the new update.
Custom Stickers
WhatsApp users can create their avatars and share them as stickers. You can upload up to 30 different stickers into a sticker pack. You can also publish your sticker pack. To do so, you must create at least three stickers. Once published, you can add those stickers to WhatsApp.
Currently, this feature is only available for Android users. It is not available in beta and maybe months before the feature becomes available on iOS. It is not known when the feature will roll out, but it is expected to be available for users on iOS sometime soon. Avatars are a popular feature on Facebook and Snapchat and have gained popularity. Once you’ve created an avatar, you can share it as a sticker with any other WhatsApp user.
Finally
If you’re using an Android device, you can also download Bitmoji. It’s free and lets you create your avatars. Once you’ve created a profile picture, you can then export the picture to your gallery. You can also set your avatar as your profile picture on WhatsApp. The app also allows you to recycle your old photos and avatars. Just make sure to uninstall ads before installing the app.
