WhatsApp continues to receive an update as an upgrade system that modifies the app development in general. The latest WhatsApp version allows users to create avatars for multi-purpose use such as avatars for WhatsApp profile pictures, avatars for sticker packs, as well as using the WhatsApp Avatar for other functions such as integrating Avatars with the Metaverse.
WhatsApp’s parent company Meta, intends to use avatar-like characters to develop the Metaverse. The Avatar will become a multipurpose character featured in WhatsApp and other products developed by Meta. WhatsApp’s parent company finally realized Avatar development is an eye opener to rapidly develop the Metaverse with amplified carton characters per user — it is a no-brainer that this is a futuristic plan.
For context, Avatar creation on WhatsApp can be used again on the Metaverse or other social products by Meta. WhatsApp designed the Avatar as a communicative scheme for sharing contextless messages with family and friends. However, creating the Avatar via WhatsApp doesn’t have to resemble the creator just like how the predecessor of the Avatar has developed the character.
Recall, Snapchat introduced Avatars via Bitmoji and the app itself. It seems Meta couldn’t acquire or partner with Snapchat having developed its Avatars without Snapchat’s technology. Still, WhatsApp is keen on developing its sticker feature with Avatar creation packed with a diverse emotional expression that doesn’t have to resemble the avatar creator.

WhatsApp users sharing instant messages are obliged to update the instant messenger to the latest app version to access this feature. At some point, WhatsApp will have to mandate the app upgrade in line with the app version preferences.
