Meta launches Memoji-like 3D Avatars For Facebook and Instagram

In case you are bored of using Apple’s Memoji, Meta is rolling an advanced 3D Avatar feature for Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. Not just that, 3D Avatars can also be used to make Instagram stories more eye-catching and DMs interesting.

Meta announces that the company is ”expanding Avatars so that they better reflect the billions of unique people on this planet”. The company elaborates that these 3D Avatars can be set as people’s “virtual self across apps via stickers, feed posts, Facebook profile pictures, and more”.

VR and Quest are key parts of our metaverse vision (…) rolling out avatars across our platforms is an early step towards making this a reality. We hope your new virtual self enables you to be represented online the way you want — whether that’s to friends and family, your local community or beyond.

That’s not all, Meta will revamp your existing Avatar to ensure that it matches your previously made choices for creating your own Avatar. The company allows you to make three different Avatars for different social networks such as Facebook and Messenger, Instagram, and VR. The feature is currently available in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
