Users can now take advantage of the 3D avatars across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, and it’s already available to a lot of people. If you use any of the platforms, you might want to refresh, or see if you have any updates. It’s also worth noting that for users who already had an avatar set up, the newly added avatar improvements will start showing up for their existing characters. Additionally, Meta will also allow users to create different avatars on different platforms. For example, a user can have one avatar synced across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, or they can choose to make one for each platform.
