How to create your Facebook avatar
Say goodbye to the days when you could only express your emotions on Facebook with the generic and default emojis. Last week, the social network launched avatar creation on iOS and Android.
Facebook avatar: an even more personalized experience
A bit like Snapchat’s Bitmoji, this new Facebook feature allows you to create your virtual character that you can use in comments, in Stories or on Messenger.
With this novelty, the firm of Mark Zuckerberg intends to offer an even more personalized experience and thus win back the young public, more and more seduced by TikTok.
According to Fiji Simo, the director of Facebook:
“A lot of our interactions take place online these days, which is why it is more important than ever to be able to express yourself personally on Facebook (…) With so many emotions and expressions to choose from, avatars you allow you to react and engage more authentically with family and friends through the app ”.
