This will help improve the users' interactions. "The animated avatars will bring more life and personality to stickers, allowing for a more expressive communication experience," the report said. 


Animated avatars are currently under development, and are expected to roll out in a future update of the app. Meanwhile, last month, it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out a feature on Android beta, which allows users to send high-quality videos. 


While this feature preserves video dimensions, minor compression will still be applied to the video, thus sending videos in their original quality is not possible. 


The default option will always be 'Standard quality' for all videos, therefore, users have to select the high-quality option every time they want to send a video with better quality.
