You can design your own avatar by choosing from a variety of options, such as skin tone, haircut, hair texture, facial hair, and make-up.

In the last few years, TikTok has developed into one of the most popular social media sites. Thus to stay further in the competition, it has finally launched its own version of Avatars. Similar to Snapchat Bitmoji, TikTok Avatars allow users to create their own digital representations of themselves.

You can design your own avatar by choosing from a variety of options, such as skin tone, haircut, hair texture, facial hair, and make-up. Additionally, you'll have the option of adding accessories like spectacles and piercings to your appearance. To begin recording videos, you first need to establish an avatar. Your movements will be mirrored by the avatar, resulting in an animated representation of oneself.

Here is how you can access them right now

Before anything else, check to see if you've updated your TikTok app. You won't be able to view the most recent effects if it isn't updated.
To begin making a new video, open TikTok and hit the + symbol.
Choose Effects from the bottom-left menu.
Choose TikTok Avatar from the "Avatar" drop-down menu. You may also see a woman with multicolored hair and a male wearing red sunglasses.
To pick an Avatar, click the toolbar above the menu. Left-side New lets you make your own.
You'll see the same pre-selected avatars on a larger menu. By selecting a preset, you may modify your Avatar.
The app's editing tools let you change your Avatar's skin tone, hairstyle, and facial hair.
When you're done, tap Done.
After saving, TikTok's camera reopens. When pointed at your face, the Avatar appears as a mask.
You may switch Avatars with this toolbar. Re-access TikTok Avatar by opening the Effects menu.

All TikTok users will soon be able to take advantage of this new function. Because this is merely the first edition, TikTok stresses that things will only get better in the future. However, despite the company's efforts, the company says it will continue to rely on community feedback and input from its Creative Diversity Collective. TikTok's first ever "collective" was formed in early 2020, bringing together a diverse group of creatives from all walks of life in order to promote diversity, inclusion, and representation on the platform.
