Social networks are increasingly customizable. We can choose whether we want to see content from recommended profiles or only from those we follow, it is possible to set usage time limits, adjust notifications at will, hide ‘likes’ or disable comments, to name a few examples.
And within the Meta universe –the matrix of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp–, the pinnacle of personalization resides in 3D avatars. These are emoticons with three-dimensional graphics that you can customize to create your own in your image and likeness. You have the option to select from the shape of your face and features, to the hairstyle, makeup and clothing.
This avatar can be used as a profile image, to be attached as a sticker in Facebook comments or to decorate your Instagram Stories. Among the options, your avatar will appear with different facial expressions, as well as decorations such as hearts, birthday cakes, applause… In short, a wide range with which to convey how you feel to your friends on Meta’s social networks.
