In this article, we’d be showing you some reasons why you haven’t seen the Avatar feature on your Facebook and
also some alternatives you can use to make the Avatars just like Facebook’s pre-installed Avatar feature.

Below are some reasons why you haven’t seen the Avatar feature on your Facebook;

 The feature hasn’t been rolled out to your location yet

This is one of the main reasons why people haven’t gotten the feature. Literally, rolling-out in a few places. The
Facebook Avatar feature has been affected by this roll-out and it has limited users from other regions to make use of. The head of Facebook reportedly said the launch of Facebook Avatar was only in the US and some other countries which we mentioned in our previous post.

But all users should be ready for the roll-out as it’ll be available to everyone very soon.

 Operating System of your device

It was announced that the Facebook Avatar feature was available for Android and iOS devices. There’s a
the probability that you might not be able to access the feature on time depending on the device’s OS or a version of your OS. Nonetheless, there’s an assurance that this feature will reach every phone regardless of the OS or version.

Older version of the Facebook app installed on your phone

Probably you have an older version of the Facebook app, most features of the app require a newer version of the app to function. It may be for this reason you haven’t gotten the Avatar feature because you are using the older version of the app. You have to update your Facebook app to get the new Avatar feature.

After updating your app and your Avatar feature is still not available for you, then you definitely have to wait for
the roll-out to reach your side.

Riding on, there are some other apps which can be used as an alternative to creating Avatars for use on
Facebook, some of those apps include:

• Betmoji;
• Boomoji;
• supreme;
• Cartoon maker-Avatar creator;
• Avatoon;
• Zmoji;

In this guide, we’d be making use of Betmoji to create Avatars.

Betmoji is an app used to create a cartooned look-alike of yourself for use in chats.

Though it is owned by Snapchat it can be used on Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, and other social media platforms that allow you to copy and paste.

7. You don’t have to worry if you don’t like what it gives to you, as it is very customizable. You can change the
   looks of your Avatar at any point in time by adding or removing certain features.
8. After going through several screens of customizing your Avatar, you should be done, save it. You get a
   complete cartooned version of yourself which you can use in messages on Facebook and other social media platforms.
