Facebook Avatar is now available in Africa after been launched in the USA, Canada, Europe, and India. Before now, there has been an anticipation of this feature coming to Africa based on the fact that some very helpful features like Facebook Dating and Facebook Marketplace haven’t been launched in Africa.
In my earlier articles on these avatars, I made it clear that with time, more countries will get it. Asides it being fun to use, I will say it has a lot of benefits and it is not unnecessary as being referred to by some.
What are Avatars on Facebook?
Facebook Avatars are digital characters or personas used by Facebook users to better express themselves across all Facebook platforms and beyond. This feature captures your emotions and helps you communicate better.
Before now, users of the Facebook platform made use of emoji and stickers for expressions. What makes these avatars unique is the fact that you are the one to create them yourself. You get to create cartoon characters or digital personas of yourself. When creating an avatar, you are given diverse characters of a human person to help give you the perfect avatar of yourself. That is, creating an avatar that looks just like you. You get to choose from the following; complexion, hairstyles, outfits, eye color, clothes, accessories, COVID-19 support stickers, hair color, facial hair, and lots more.
