5. Facebook Avatars: Because the Metaverse is coming, whether you like it or not
Admittedly, I have not used these. I left Facebook years ago and only returned because it’s required to have an active account to make friends in my small town. But its parent company, Meta, did indeed introduce 3D avatars, which you can—naturally—use in the metaverse. However, judging by the first batch of comments on the Facebook post announcing the avatars, people aren’t too happy about the new look. “Horrible is the way I would describe the new Avatars,” writes one commenter. “I’ve just deleted mine in case I use it by mistake.”
You don’t have to have the Facebook app to create an avatar. The option is available as a sticker in the Instagram app, and you can create your avatar for use there, too.
