Some WhatsApp news are more predictable than others. The last thing WaBetaInfo discovered, we didn’t expect: its developers allow us to use avatar during video call.
We currently don’t have any pictures of these avatars, but just one during a WhatsApp video call. button to change to an avatarprobably in the style of Memoji, AR Emoji, Animoji and the like.
Avatars for video calls on WhatsApp
There may be times when you may not be presentable for a video call. You always have the option to turn off the camera, but there may be another way in the future: replace your face with an avatar.
This amazing innovation seems to be on its way to WhatsApp as they managed to discover it on WaBetaInfo. for now WhatsApp avatars They are neither public nor internally active, so we are left with the question of how they will be, can we customize them or will they react to our movements using the camera, which would be normal.
What we know right now is that during a video call you will have the option to: change avatar, will be useful if you don’t want to show your face as it is at that moment. Filters for video calls are quite common today and we have them in other apps at home, such as Messenger and Instagram, but nothing similar in WhatsApp until now.
we are left with doubt if we can customize the avatar or if instead we have to choose between a series of 3D characters and/or animals that move and gesture by following our facial movements, such as Memoji, AR Emoji, Animoji and the like. This scenario seems most likely in a video call.
Both Facebook (left) and Instagram (right) have an avatar creator, but they don’t animate with your face like Memoji.
it is necessary to remember that Meta already has an avatar creator on Facebook and Instagram, in addition to the many experiences in this regard of filters that react to our movements. Don’t focus on the metastore where this and these avatars will “fit” into video calls. We’ll have to see how things turn out. We do not currently know when the function will be ready.
