WhatsApp Messenger Gets Avatars [Video]

WhatsApp has announced that you can now use personalized avatars on the messaging app.

Your avatar is a digital version of you that can be created from billions of combinations of diverse hair styles, facial features, and outfits. On WhatsApp you can now use your personalized avatar as your profile photo or choose from one of 36 custom stickers reflecting many different emotions and actions.




Sending an avatar is a fast and fun way to share feelings with friends and family. It can also be a great way to represent yourself without using your real photo so it feels more private.

WhatsApp plans further style improvements to avatars, including lighting, shading, hair style textures, and more. Avatars start rolling out to users everywhere from today.

You can download WhatsApp Messenger from the App Store for free.
