WhatsApp could soon allow users to set animated avatars as profile pictures
According to a new report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow an animated avatar to be set as a profile picture. The publication tweeted a few days ago. He said, “The ability to set an avatar to use as a profile picture is under development in WhatsApp beta for Android.” In the near future, WhatsApp users should be able to use an avatar as their mask while making video calls on the platform. As stated in the report, “You will be able to choose the perfect avatar for you by customizing it. In addition, you will also be able to choose a background color to use in your profile picture. Note that even if the screenshot is taken from WhatsApp beta for Android, the ability to set avatar profile picture will also be available in WhatsApp beta for iOS and Desktop beta.” WhatsApp is also working on new privacy features that allow you to leave groups silently. Additionally, screenshots for “Just View Messages” will no longer be allowed in the web messaging app. In addition, users can also control who can check their online status. Announcing the features, Zuckerberg said: “New privacy features are coming to WhatsApp, exit group chats without notifying everyone, control who can see when you’re online, and prevent screenshots while viewing messages. We’re creating new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations.”
