MON, AUG 17 2020-theG&BJournal– Facebook today announced the launch of Avatars in Africa to give people new ways to express themselves online. Avatars are digital personas that enable people to engage across Facebook and Messenger in a more personal and dynamic way.
With so many emotions and expressions to choose from, avatars let you share your authentic reactions and feelings with family and friends across the app.
The avatar can customise with your with hairstyles, complexions, outfits, COVID-19 support stickers and more.
