A big surprise came to Instagram users after discovering that the application for Android and iOS has just included a function that allows them to create an avatar of their person. This feature has many similarities with the one that Facebook included a few years ago. How does it work?

According to Xataka, a portal specialized in technology, the creator of Instagram avatars is semi-hidden among all the options on the platform. If you are a fan of this social network and you are interested in creating your own, you should know that it is quite easy, just follow these steps:

According to the publication, Instagram allows users to choose their skin tone, hairstyle, face shape, eye types, eyelashes, nose, mouth, and body. In the same way, we can put clothes on our avatar, as well as some accessories such as glasses, necklaces, among others. Once you finish, you can go back in if you want to make a change.

Although the avatar maker has already been included in Instagram, you cannot use it anywhere yet. Most likely, just like Facebook, you can send emojis of this cartoon to your friends, as well as make some posts.
