TikTok is launching a new feature that lets users turn themselves into custom animated avatars<\/a> in the style of Apple\u2019s Memoji, Snapchat\u2019s Bitmoji, and Meta\u2019s Avatars. <\/p>\n

The feature is rolling out globally today and is accessible from the app\u2019s camera alongside TikTok\u2019s various other effects. To use the feature on yourself, open the app, flip the camera to selfie mode, tap effects, and select the avatar effect. You can then either use a preset look or hit \u201cnew\u201d to create a custom avatar. This lets you customize your avatar\u2019s face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, and accessories, including makeup and piercings. You can then record a video with the avatar following your movements and facial expressions. <\/p>\n

The new avatar feature is accessible from the video effects select. It\u2019s in the far right of the top row, highlighted in red. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

TikTok says it wants to make the feature as inclusive as possible and will continue to \u201cimprove and innovate to make sure the experience is truly representative of all who are on TikTok.\u201d News of the feature first leaked earlier this year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that so many social media platforms have now embraced custom avatars as a way for people to communicate without the pressure of doing so \u201cin person.\u201d But while Snapchat and iMessage use Bitmoji and Memoji to communicate with people you know (mostly), TikTok\u2019s avatars have the potential to be used by pseudonymous content creators. This is a trend that\u2019s already taken off on YouTube with VTubers and could certainly be embraced on a platform like TikTok. Users can even combine their custom avatars with TikTok\u2019s preexisting voice effects for further anonymity. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
