About the style and appearance of avatars
Copy link
You can create an avatar on WhatsApp to use as your profile picture, to use in addition to your profile picture, or to send as stickers. People will see your avatar when they swipe on your profile picture.
Over time, we’ll continually improve avatars by enhancing their style and appearance.
These updates mean you can create avatars with enhanced representation and expressivity.
They’ll include:
- Customization options for faces and bodies.
- Changes to lighting and shading.
- Improved realism and detail.
- Animation.
Note:
- Avatar style and design updates will apply automatically to avatar stickers, but not to your avatar profile picture. If you’d like them to apply to your avatar profile picture, you’ll need to edit your avatar and save it again.
- You can't select a gender for your avatar.
- Avatars aren't available on linked devices or companion phones.
