Wow, so Meta’s doing it again, huh? Upgrading those Avatars. Kinda wild how much detail they’ve got now. So, we’re talking control over face shapes, body parts—like, you can tweak your biceps or something. Oh, and hair! You ever just wish you could change hairstyles on a whim? Well, now you can, sorta.
These Avatars are all over Meta’s playground. You know, Horizon Worlds or whatever. I mean, you pop into Home, Workrooms on Quest, all that jazz. And of course, they’re in your Facebook feed, Instagram stories, WhatsApp chats, even Messenger—that thing I almost forget exists sometimes. Maybe they’re secretly everywhere, who knows?
So yeah, folks in the US and Canada are getting the sweet end of the deal first. Dozens of body types! And it’s not just “small, medium, large”—we’re talking shoulders, hips. Biceps! Like, imagine deciding to have hulk shoulders for a week. It’s a thing now. Oh, and they’ve got this whole body preview thing. You check out your avatar’s frame before you mess it up—or fancy it up—with clothes.
Funny thing, though, the face editor’s not left behind. It’s got these new sliders or whatever. Jawlines, cheek fullness… facial depth? Not sure whose dream that was. And now there’s 18 new poses—standing poses, no less. How do you even think of 18 ways to stand? Plus, 50-something new emotes and a closet full of outfits. I’m already overwhelmed. But in a fun way?
Get this—there’s an AI style tool. Like, it’s a stylist in your pocket. Throw a text prompt, and poof! New outfit. Confession: I’d probably spend hours just randomizing outfits. That’s launching on Horizon’s mobile thingy.
Anyway, they’re rolling this to young folks first—13 and up in the US and Canada. Slowly, like, you blink and there’s a new shirt or shoes. Maybe even cooler pants down the line. Can’t wait to see what’s next, or maybe I can. Depends on whether I find the time between swapping bicep sizes and picking out the perfect virtual sneakers.
