Available 3D Avatars on Instagram

Meta is bringing its 3D avatars to Instagram and is also rolling out updated avatars to Facebook and Messenger. Users in the United States, Canada, and Mexico can now show up as their virtual selves in stickers, feed posts, Facebook profile pictures, and more.

The update adds Cochlear implants and over-the-ear hearing aids (for one or both ears) in a variety of colors, and on all platforms including VR. It also includes wheelchairs, which will appear in stickers on Facebook, in Messenger chats, and in DMs on Instagram.

Plus, it also improved the look of Avatars. We’ve subtly adjusted certain facial shapes and tweaked our skin shaders to make the user’s avatar more authentically the user as well as new eyes, noses, beards, hairstyles, outfits, body types, and more. It will continue to add more in 2022. This also marks the first time any of the Avatars have been available on Instagram.

The update is now available in the United States, Canada, and Mexico and will be rolling out 3D Avatars across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger in other countries. Visit Meta’s Blog Post for more.
