WhatsApp is working on introducing a new group icon editor reminiscent of iMessage. This will give group admins an additional design option.
Loud WABetaInfo WhatsApp is introducing this new group icon editor in beta version 2.21.190.11, which allows users to create an icon by selecting a background color and an emoji or sticker. If you are running the WhatsApp beta, here's what you can do:
- Open the group info and tap the camera icon to change the group icon.
- If you see a new option called “Emoji & Stickers,” it means you can now use this feature.

If the option is not displayed in your account, you will have to wait until WhatsApp rolls out the feature across the board in the beta. And this is what it looks like:

Since the feature is already in beta, it shouldn't be long before all users can enjoy the new group icon editor. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
