TikTok has just released its Avatars, which comes as a handy add-on to the popular short video platform. TikTok users can create their own Avatars and deeply customize them to mirror a look of their own. TikTok Avatars come as an effect to use in creating videos. They will function in a more advanced way compared with TikTok ordinary filters since users’ Avatars will mirror their facial expressions and movement.
Most social media apps allow users to create their Avatars as digital faces and use them as an emoji or while recording some funny videos. Also, Avatars have been available for a long time on Apple’s iOS as ‘Memojis.’ On the other hand, TikTok has been working hard to release new and enhanced features. That’s understandable since TikTok has been competing with Instagram, Facebook and YouTube since they started to support TikTok-like short vertical videos.
The new TikTok Avatars update is launching globally, and most users have already received it. To start creating TikTok Avatars, users need to open the TikTok app on Android, iPhone or iPad and tap the ‘+’ icon to open the built-in camera. Next, users should tap on the ‘Effects’ option to navigate the new TikTok Avatars.
How To Create And Use TikTok Avatars
The easiest way to access TikTok Avatars is to search it using the search icon. Users should search by the term ‘Avatars’ and select the TikTok Avatars result. After doing that, a set of avatars will appear to choose from. First, users should tap the ‘New’ button to create their Avatar. After doing this, TikTok will let the user choose from twenty different modes. Then, users should select the closest model to their look and tap it to start editing.
At this point, TikTok users will be able to fully customize their Avatar, including ‘Skin Tone,’ ‘Hairstyle,’ ‘Head,’ to the ‘Brows’ and ‘Eye’ color. In addition, there are many other options to modify, such as ‘Mouth,’ ‘Facial Hair,’ ‘Eyewear,’ and more. After editing the Avatar, users should tap the ‘Done’ button on the up-right corner of the screen, go back to the TikTok camera, choose the ‘TikTok Avatars’ effect, and then they’ll find the newly-created Avatar.
TikTok is doing a great job creating creative filters, such as the recent TikTok Sad Filter, and the new Avatars are no exception. The new Avatars are very dynamic and intelligent, and they can precisely mimic the user’s facial expression. In addition, TikTok users can create multiple Avatars and choose between them, and they can test the new Avatar while making it.
