WhatsApp is discontinuing its avatar feature, as confirmed by Meta. Users are receiving notifications about the removal of avatars and their editing capabilities, which were introduced in late 2022. The associated sticker feature will also be removed, although a specific timeline for this is not provided. Once fully phased out, users will no longer be able to create, edit, or share avatars. Traditional profile pictures will remain unaffected.
