➤ How to use Facebook avatar on WhatsApp 🎮

Gone are the days of users using emojis, gifs, and stickers to express feelings. People today use Apple's Memoji and Snapchat Bitmoji for chats and conversations. You can make your own version of these avatars using tons of customization options, clothing styles, hairstyles, and more.

Facebook also got on the train with the launch of Avatars. And the good news is that you can easily use Facebook avatars with WhatsApp chats and even insert that avatar as your profile picture on WhatsApp.

Facebook avatars are much more beautiful than their rivals. First, it quickly reached over a billion users, and second, the company has left no stone unturned when it comes to customization options. In my experience, the customization options are even better than what Apple and Snapchat offer users.

After creating Facebook Avatars from scratch, the company offers a list of ready-to-use avatars with different expressions and styles. Understandably, there is no direct way to save them in the phone gallery. But Facebook offers a neat way to share them using other social networks like Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Messenger, and others.
