WhatsApp update: WhatsApp avatar to create personal stickers

WhatsApp will now allow you to create your own sticker pack! Just like the avatar feature on Facebook, WhatsApp adds the ability to create a cartoon version of yourself and generate a sticker pack. The feature is similar to Facebook's version of avatar, and users can create their own stickers, like Animojis on iOS. The difference is that these will not be animated.

WhatsApp says in an official blog that avatars want you to create a digital version of your personality and allow you to customize it with accessories and items like clothing, jewellery, facial features, and more. You can choose from billions of combinations of various looks like outfits, hairstyles, facial hair, accessories, and more. Once selected, WhatsApp will create a custom sticker pack based on your avatar.
