Facebook Avatar feature has been affected by this roll-out and it has limited users from other regions to make use of. The head of Facebook reportedly said the launch of Facebook Avatar was only in the US and some other countries which we mentioned in our previous post.

the probability that you might not be able to access the feature on time depending on the device’s OS or a version of your OS. Nonetheless, there’s an assurance that this feature will reach every phone regardless of the OS or version.
