Creating Multiple Avatars
Freely switch these images for different platforms and interactive scenarios
Each avatar can have completely different shapes, styles, movements and expressions
These virtual avatars can not only be used across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, but can also become your digital avatar in Horizon Worlds and future AR/VR scenarios.
Each Avatar is a digital you that you can choose to be active in:
In post interactions and comments (appearing as stickers or avatars)
Expressing emotions in chat apps
Social, entertainment or creative activities in the metaverse
This is not only a tool for "changing clothes", but also a portal to establish multiple identities.
New feature highlights at a glance
Meta has been constantly upgrading its avatar system, going beyond just changing hairstyles and skin tones. Here are the highlights of recent updates:
New body types, multiple postures, and facial expressions
Support AI conversational editing of avatars in the Horizon app
Allows Creators to upload custom textures and even use AI to generate clothing materials
Added facial parameter control to fine-tune facial features
Rich makeup options: blush, freckles, beard, facial makeup, Bindi... Combine as you like
According to Meta, in theory, "billions of unique images" can be combined to truly achieve "one thousand faces for one thousand people".
Tutorial: how to create multiple Meta Avatars?
Unlock your new look in just a few steps!
Step 1: Enter the avatar editing interface
Step 2: Change or create a new avatar
Tap the three dots (More menu) in the upper right corner.
Select [Switch Avatar].
You can select an existing avatar here, or click [Create New Avatar] to customize a new virtual character.
Step 3: Customize your image style
Choose skin color, hairstyle, face shape, clothing, makeup, accessories and more.
Meta provides dozens of body types, hair colors, facial details and even facial dynamic expressions, so you can create "another self".
Step 4: Use on different platforms
Once created, all your avatars will be automatically synced to supported platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Horizon Worlds, etc.
You can use different versions of your avatar in chat stickers, stories, comments, and more.
Where can I use these avatars?
Chat Stickers: Create your own sticker packs in Messenger or Instagram private messages
Social Stickers: Use your own avatars in Facebook posts
Metaverse Interaction: Create your own avatars in Meta Quest and Horizon Worlds
Reels / Story: Use avatars to appear in your feeds instead of real people
Why create multiple avatars?
Although Meta doesn't explicitly give an answer, you might need multiple Avatars for these reasons:
One person has multiple sides, switch roles: wear a professional image at work, switch to a trendy and cool style after work, and have more freedom in social style.
More flexible expression of emotions: Different Avatars can show different moods and can be used for chat expressions or sticker interactions.
Prepare for the future metaverse: In the future, you may need multiple identities in the virtual world, and Avatar will be your "digital skin".
Creation and self-expression: Each image can be an extension of your personality, culture, and interests.
Future Trend: Avatar is more than just a profile picture
Although Meta Avatar currently mainly appears in stickers, comments, and social scenarios, the logic behind this feature has long been deeply integrated with Meta's metaverse strategy:
You in the metaverse don't need to show your face, you only need an Avatar to represent you
Virtual office, meeting, social, entertainment, shopping and other behaviors will all be completed by Avatar
In the future, AI assistants may also accompany you in the form of Avatars and become a part of your life.
In other words, Meta is building a "portable digital identity system", and multiple Avatars will be your pass to adapt to different digital spaces.
Conclusion
Although virtual images have not yet become a daily necessity, they are increasingly appearing in our lives - such as stickers, comment expressions, video images, AR interactions, etc.
Now, with the "Multi-Avatar Switching" feature, we can finally flexibly switch our digital selves according to different occasions and needs.
