About LINE Avatar toggle

This feature lets you display yourself as a character in the LINE app. You can create Avatars for yourself and your friends.

The Avatars you create can be used as your LINE profile photo or cover photo, shared with friends, or made to appear in photos and videos using augmented reality (AR) features. You can also add Avatars to existing photos and videos.

For information on using Avatars, see this Help article.
