WhatsApp is working on a new feature for its custom avatars, which can now be created and used in text chats and will also be added as a response option to states.

To create an avatar in three dimensions (3D), you must choose a skin tone, hairstyle, clothing and other details, an option included in the ‘stickers’ section and that Meta introduced a few months ago on the messaging platform.

Regarding status updates, these are located in the third tab of the main interface, they can be answered with text, with 8 emojis – face with hearts, crying with laughter, surprised, sad, hands together, applause, party and 100 -, with emoticons, with stickers or with GIFs, to which the option to reply with avatars has recently been added.

This has been verified by WABetaInfo in the latest beta of WhatsApp for Android 2.23.18.9, a feature that is under development and that will also allow you to respond to these status updates with six other personalized avatars.

To choose between one format and another, the messaging platform will introduce a tab at the top of the states to choose between emojis and avatars, and within the latter, the avatar crying with laughter, sorrow and with thumbs up.

According to this portal, this functionality will be available in a future application update, although it is unknown if it will also reach the iOS version of the application.
