Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said that the Instagram application will feature a 3D avatar. These avatars can be used in messages and stories. Avatars on Facebook and Messenger will also be updated.

    Meta said it is working on a 3D avatar for Instagram. Users will now be able to use 3D avatars in messages and stories. In addition, avatars on Messenger and Facebook will be updated. After this update, users in the US, Canada and Mexico will first use 3D avatars. This feature will then be activated globally for all users.

    Aigerim Shorman, head of Meta`s avatars and personalities department, said the new avatars will also include updated facial implants and hearing aids. Thus, users with disabilities will be able to use them. The 3D avatar function can also be widely used in stories. The 3D avatars that can be selected from the story tags will be like questionnaires and question tags. Shorman says that with this feature, they will begin to integrate the world of Metaverse into their platforms. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, says that in the future, users may have several avatars.

    Shorman also says that in Connect 2021, what they say about Metaverse is slowly moving into the future. Thanks to Metaverse, users will be able to sit at home in the virtual world with their loved ones who are far away. Note that Metaverse is a new technology that many companies are currently investing in. This technology allows people to do what they do in the real world, even in the virtual world.
