Remember 2010-2011 and how ‘Bitstrips’ had taken over our entire Facebook wall? That was an epic trend and people didn’t get enough of it!
Cut to 2020, Facebook has launched ‘Avatars’ in India which enables users to create a cartoon version of themselves by choosing from a variety of facial features, hairstyles, and outfits, reports Firstpost.

This is what Facebook ‘Avatars’ is.
‘Avatars’ is on its way to becoming a massive social media trend. However, people who have already tried it are posting their reactions online. Lo and behold, memes and jokes are raining on social media!
