LOS ANGELES: WhatsApp has overhauled its profile page, letting users add an emoji and a few words to the picture shown in their profile and in one-to-one chats.

The emoji and text appear in a speech bubble on the profile image, and tapping on it lets you reply to someone's speech bubble directly in a one-to-one chat.
