WhatsApp is making huge change to one of the app's best features – and it's controversial
"There will be a new option within the video call screen that lets us immediately switch to our avatar when a future update drops," said WABetaInfo.
"We will be able to set up our own avatar by launching the 'Avatar Editor': a proper section where we can customize the avatar.Of course, it won't be useful for everyone.What you can't avoid is other people using avatars on your screen. So even if you want to see someone's face during a video call, there's no way to override the avatar.
