Visitors to your profile can flip between your profile picture and your avatar.
When people visit your Instagram profile, they can now ‘flip’ between your avatar and your traditional display picture. This is how it works.
Meta has recently rolled out a number of new features for its widely used apps, such as Instagram and WhatsApp. One of the latest updates is the introduction of a new feature that allows users to have both an avatar and a traditional display picture on their Instagram profile. This means that when someone visits a user’s profile, they will be able to ‘flip’ between an avatar and a traditional display picture.
“You can now add your avatar to the other side of your photo – and people who visit your profile can flip between the two,” Instagram said on Twitter.

How to use the ‘Dynamic’ profile photo feature on Instagram?
If you have already created an avatar on other meta platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp, you do not need to create an avatar for Instagram again, as it will be visible in Instagram. All you have to do is go to Edit Profile > tap on your avatar > and turn on the toggle that says “Add to profile picture”.
But if you haven’t created an avatar yet, here’s how to do it:
- Open Instagram and open your profile.
- Then tap on Edit Profile.
- Now, tap on Edit Picture or Avatar and go to another tab.
- Tap Create Avatar.
- Choose your skin color, clothes, hair style, face shape etc.
- Once you’ve created an avatar, tap on your avatar > and turn on the toggle that says “Add to profile picture” to enable the new profile picture feature.
- Now, visitors to your profile can flip between your profile picture and your avatar.
