WhatsApp chats, or conversations in general, become more fun when you bring emojis and stickers into the mix. WhatsApp already offers the ability to send stickers in chats on its messaging platform. But now you can create and send avatars in WhatsApp chats. WhatsApp recently added the ability to create digital avatars of yourself and share them as stickers, a feature already available on Facebook and Instagram. So, if you like the concept of Bitmojis and Memojis, let's learn how you can create a similar Avatar on WhatsApp.

In this guide, we'll explain how you can easily create your own WhatsApp avatars, send them to people as stickers, and even set them up as your profile photo. Before that, let's take a look at what is Avatars feature in WhatsApp.

WhatsApp avatars are digital animated versions of yourself, much like Apple's Memoji and Snapchat's Bitmoji. The messaging giant gives you the option to create a personal avatar that resembles you as much as possible. You can create your own avatar by adding several elements such as hair style, clothes, facial expressions, accessories and much more. Furthermore, in an official blog post, WhatsApp says it will soon add new styling improvements, including lighting, shading, hairstyle textures and more.

This is similar to how you can create avatars on Instagram and Facebook, which was recently introduced by Meta. However, these cannot be used interchangeably across the three social media platforms under Meta's umbrella. Also, you have to design each avatar individually, which is a laborious task, so all your avatars may look different on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Maybe Meta will add interoperability support sometime in the future!
