You can then choose among the emoji's installed on your phone or select a sticker among all the packs that have been downloaded on the phone. You will also have the ability to choose a background colour on which the emoji or the sticker will be displayed.
Once done, the image will be used as your group's new icon. Remember that you need to have WhatsApp beta installed on your phone and be part of tests. Currently, all the testing slots for the feature are full but more will open up in the future, so keep an eye out.
Android users will also get their hands on the beta feature soon, possibly in the coming weeks.
