Over the last few weeks we have been telling you many new features that WhatsApp is implementing in the application in order to make our experience with it much more complete. However, there are many more features to come and, as we have been able to learn thanks to our colleagues at Xataka Móvil, one of those that is yet to come is the use of 3D avatars for our video calls.
Although it is not yet officially available, It seems that very soon it will be implemented in the application and we already know some details about how it will work. Therefore, if you don’t feel like appearing in a video call, you can rest easy, since your 3D avatar will do it for you.
Our 3D Avatar will be the visible face in WhatsApp video calls
It is true that the possibility of this new tool being implemented was already rumored a few months ago, but now it seems closer than ever. To tell the truth, 3D avatars needed these types of functions to enhance their use since, until now, we could only use them to create a profile picture or a new pack of personalized stickers.
Furthermore, something interesting that has been found is that we have available an option called “face and hands effects”a configuration that we can only activate as long as we accept Meta’s privacy policy, as you need to be able to record certain parts of your face. For now it is unknown what this option will be used for, so we have to wait for it to be officially implemented.
On the other hand, tell you that the integration of this functionality in the interface will be as we expected, that is, a button will be shown at the bottom of the screen while we make a video call that will allow us to switch between the image of the front camera or our personal 3D avatar.
For now there is no official confirmation from WhatsApp itself as to when we will have this tool availablebut what does seem clear is that sooner or later we will have it available to be able to use it whenever we want.
