To help showcase each user's individuality, TikTok is now rolling out its new custom Avatars globally today to all users. To access TikTok's new Avatars, open the effects section on the TikTok app and search for the Avatar effect. The feature seems similar to Snapchat's Bitmoji and Apple's Memoji and it will be interesting to see how creators put TikTok's new Avatars to use in creating content. TikTok also stated that it will continue to improve and innovate the feature to make it the most inclusive and representative experience for its community.
