Snapchat’s Bitmoji has been around for some time, and now Facebook has its own version of the virtual lookalike. Facebook’s new Avatar feature lets you create a mini-version of yourself to use in stories, comments and on Facebook Messenger from Wednesday. The new avatar stickers will also soon be available to use in text posts with backgrounds.
