Enfold – Add Whatsapp icon to Social Profile

I am having a problem adding the Whatapp icon to show in the social profile.
I’ve followed the instructions in multiple threads:

Why are there so many variations on the functions.php code for adding an icon? It makes what should be a simple process very frustrating.

I was able to successfully upload the Fontello Whatsapp font using the Iconfont Manager and have tested to make sure it is visible in the font list using an Icon Box in the layout Builder.

Here’s the code I added to functions.php in a child theme:

/* add support for whatsapp icon */
// Register new icon as a theme icon
function avia_add_custom_icon($icons) {
	$icons['Whatsapp']	 = array( 'font' =>'whatsapp', 'icon' => 'ue800');
	return $icons;
}
add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);

// Add new icon as an option for social icons
function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons) {
	$icons['Icon Label'] = 'Whatsapp';
	return $icons;
}
add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);

Despite trying several option outlined in the above posts, I am unable to see the Whatsapp icon appear in the Social Profile dropdown list.

Would someone please review the code and make corrections in this post so that other can learn? Thanks.
