First stickers came to WhatsApp, then animated stickers, then avatars which become a sticker pack and now come the animated stickers of our avatar. They are like our avatar stickers we already had, but animated.
A few days ago Meta announced several news regarding its avatars, some of which affected WhatsApp, such as the future possibility of creating our avatar from a photo. Something they didn’t tell us but we know from WaBetaInfo are the animated stickers based on our avatar
Your avatar comes alive
Since WhatsApp added avatars a few years ago, there are two things you can do with them: use them as your profile picture or create a sticker pack to use in chats.
This sticker pack includes a number of stickers that have grown over time, but until now they had one thing in common: they were static. Soon, your whatsapp avatar stickers will be animated
As we have seen thanks to WaBetaInfo, animated stickers will be mixed with static ones in our avatar sticker pack. In the preview of the sticker pack itself, we will be able to see them already in motion before sending them to the chat.
This novelty, which we still do not know when it will arrive, will not be the only one to touch WhatsApp stickers soon. The app takes time to prepare this we can use avatar during video calls instead of showing our face, in addition to having redesigned the emoji and sticker picker, something that is still being enabled little by little for users, first in beta.
