Continuing its investments in virtual reality and metaverse, Meta brought the 3D Avatar feature, which is liked by Instagram and Facebook users, to the popular messaging platform Whatsapp. What does the feature open to access for all Whatsapp users include? Here are the details3D avatar era begins on WhatsApp
In the official statement shared today, WhatsApp announced that “users will be able to use personalized avatars as their profile photo or choose from 36 special stickers that reflect different emotions and actions.” These avatars, which we can say similar to Snapchat Bitmoji or Apple’s Memoji stickers, will offer users many personalization opportunities.
Thus, users will be able to change many details of the avatars, including lighting, shading and hairstyles. In addition to the profile photo, avatars can also be used as emojis.We can say that the new feature will also improve the privacy capabilities of the platform. Thus, many users who want to hide their profile photo will be able to choose their own 3D avatars instead of using photos. Additionally, WhatsApp has confirmed that the new avatar feature can only be accessed from within the app itself. This indicates that avatars created on Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp will not have cross support.
Users who want to access the new feature can experience it from the “Create Your Avatar” section in the “Settings” option after updating Whatsapp to the latest version.
