O WhatsApp started testing a new feature of animated avatarsdiscovered in the beta version of number 23.16.1.72 of the messenger app for iOS. With them, not only are the static avatars of the users, but also versions that move according to the emotions they express.
As noted by WABetaInfo, when accessing the avatars area in the stickers/GIFs/avatars tray using the beta version of WhatsApp, some of the design options are now animated, as we can see below. So, just tap on the chosen avatar and it will be sent to the recipient. Some users may also have access to the feature with the latest app update.
It is already possible to send the avatars to anyone, although they still cannot send the new animated versions. It is worth noting that, so far, not all avatar options have been animated, so WhatsApp will extend the novelty to the rest of the designs until the launch of the feature in the version of the app intended for all users. It will also be possible to create animated avatars from GIFs.
The new resource should increase usability — especially for those who use avatars frequently —, making them more dynamic and fun. The novelty began to be tested amidst the general launch of other novelties, such as the new iOS app interface and new video messages.
It is worth mentioning that this is still a test, so it is not possible to know exactly when or even if the feature will reach the general public. It is also possible that there will be changes until the novelty comes out of beta and is implemented in the stable version of WhatsApp.
