As long as you meet the above system and LINE App version conditions, you can now use the LINE avatar function in the LINE App. Users only need to click the “Avatar” button on the profile page and then select “Create” to start creating an avatar:
The camera will then be turned on. Just place your face in the frame of the screen and press the “shoot” button.

If you want to change your appearance or clothing, you can click “Edit” to modify it at any time:
After generating the avatar, the next most important thing is to take a selfie of the avatar! Click “Virtual Snapshot” in the lower right corner of my avatar page, and you can use my avatar to take selfies with various expressions and movements. The camera will also detect the user’s facial expressions in the background and synchronize with the avatar’s self in real time. The avatar also has a variety of cute actions built-in:
Users can also set the background for virtual portrait selfies. In addition to various theme backgrounds to choose from, they can also turn off the background for virtual portrait selfies.
