Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp is working on another service. In particular, the privacy hotspot has been moved to the root folder for easy access. Since WhatsApp shared the news on Twitter last month, it was accessible to everyone. We discovered that WhatsApp is introducing another similar change by rearranging privacy and avatar settings after updating to the latest beta update from the Play Store.

This screenshot shows how WhatsApp decided to switch the location of the privacy and avatar entry points in WhatsApp Settings. It makes sense because creating an avatar is less important than the privacy part. The team decided to make this small change to the Android app because the avatar entry point does not separate account and privacy settings on WhatsApp for iOS.
Avatars are digital images that computer users can customize to their liking. Whatsapp avatars were first introduced by Meta to Facebook and Instagram in the first month of this year.
