Meta continues to make new developments on its platforms. The company recently announced an important innovation for Instagram and Messenger users. Now, Meta will provide avatar support for video calls made on Instagram and Messenger.

With the rise in popularity of video calls during the pandemic, it can't be said that everyone enjoys these types of conversations. At this point, Meta takes a step that will draw the attention of its users. Now, users will be able to use avatars in their video calls, offering a different option for those who prefer not to be fully seen or want a unique experience. The company sees this avatar support as an alternative approach for both voice and video calls.

 This feature, already used on Facebook and Instagram, allows users to show their avatars instead of themselves when participating in video calls, if they wish.

This avatar support seems to be a valuable solution for users who do not want to fully reveal themselves during video calls. Moreover, its user-friendly nature adds to its appeal. This feature will be simultaneously available for iOS and Android platforms and is expected to reach all users in a short time.

Meta plans to introduce updates for avatars on other platforms as well. Efforts are being made to make avatar creation easier on WhatsApp and Facebook. Meta aims to make creating avatars as easy as taking a single selfie. Additionally, it was reported that more than 1 billion avatars were created on the platforms in April.

With this new feature, users can experience a different and enjoyable communication experience. Avatar support aims to appeal to a broader user base by catering to users' preferences and freedom of expression. Users will have the opportunity to participate in video calls more comfortably and enjoyably with this new feature.
