Facebook Avatars, which are definitely not Bitmoji, are rolling out in the U.S. (Thu, 14 May 2020)
Facebook's Avatars have finally rolled out in the U.S., providing a useful new tool to socially distanced Americans worried they'll forget what their friends look like. Much like Bitmoji or those pixellated doll makers from the '90s, Facebook's Avatars let you create a cartoonish likeness of yourself which you can attach to your instant messages.

Rather than having to sit there and delete each comment individually, they can now take care of all of them with a few taps. Those with iOS can enable the feature by tapping on a comment and then the dotted icon located in the top right corner. From there, select the Manage Comments option and choose up to 25 comments to delete simultaneously. You can block accounts in bulk by tapping on More Options. Read more...
