HOW TO CREATE OWN AVATAR ON FACEBOOK
Facebook Avatar, as the name says, is the latest feature on Facebook in which the user can create their version in the cartoon. This feature was initially available in different countries such as the US, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Canada but now the company has rolled out to India too. Users can not only create their cartoon characters but also can share them. Moreover, you can share your cartoonist character with Instagram, Twitter, etc. I’m sure you want to try your cartoonist character for yourself. Without further delay, let me tell you how you can create your own Facebook Avatar. You can follow the steps below:
The first step would be to update your Facebook app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
You will find a hamburger menu at the top right corner in the Facebook App. If you are an iOS user, then you will find the very menu on the bottom right corner. Tap on the menu.
Scroll down until you find See More option. Tap on the option.
Just after you tap the option, you need to tap on the option Avatars.
The next step is the most interesting. That’s because you need to customize your avatars. Here, you will find many customization in the app that you can choose from, right from your hairstyle, face shape, face lines to name a few. Also, you need to select a body shape for the same.
After finishing off with your customization, you need to click on the done icon which can be found on the top right corner.
The app will generate your Avatar and also give you tips about how you can use the avatar. It will ask for a pose for the avatar you created to share it in your feed. But if you chose to not give any pose to it then you can just skip it.
If you want to use the avatar then tap on the smiley face icon, select the avatar from the sticker section and you’re good to go.
HOW TO CREATE OWN AVATAR ON MESSENGER
So, basically, to use this fun-cartoon character in your Messenger, you must make sure that you have already created an avatar of yourself on Facebook. Once you’re done creating the avatar in the app, you close the app and open the Messenger app on your phone. Start a chat as you normally do, and then tap on the emoji icon in your text box. Just beside the recent icon, you will find the avatar (at the bottom). Using this you can send it to anyone.
Now, let me tell you how you can share the avatar from the app to your Messenger. For his, once again click on the hamburger icon (if you’re still confused then let me tell you, this icon is in the form of three horizontal lines), scroll down until you come across See More and click on it. Next tap on Avatar, select on the sticker (at the top right corner).
Select any sticker that you want to share and select on Select in Messenger. As soon as you select, the Messenger app will be opened on your phone along with the editing page for the selected sticker. You can now send the sticker as well as write in the text and send it to your contact/friend. Of course, before sending it to a contact/friend you have to scroll through the contact list. Once found the contact, tap on Send just next to their name.
This fun feature of Facebook allows you not just to create and share but also you can make this as your profile picture, temporary profile picture, share it to your friends, write along with avatars, share it on Messenger in the form of stickers, share the avatar on your feed and much more.
I’m sure that this article will be helpful to you and also I’m pretty sure that you’re excited to incorporate this fun feature if you haven’t done yet.
