Just like on Facebook and Instagram, users will be able to send Avatars as stickers within the chats and groups on WhatsApp. As WhatsApp will be available on WhatsApp soon, you can expect an ‘Avatar Editor’ section on WhatsApp too. With this, users will be able to edit their WhatsApp Avatar any day. The new update will be available for Android as well as iPhone users.
