3. Tap the three lines icon, located in the upper right corner, and select ‘ Settings ‘.
4. Several options will appear, you have to choose ‘ Account ‘.
5. Finally, go to the Avatars option to create one of yourself.

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.
