What is an avatar? This word gained a lot of popularity right after the emergence of social networks. Today it can be heard from both children and adults.
In this article, we will explain what the word "avatar" means and when it is appropriate to use it.
What does avatar mean
It is worth noting that the synonyms for the avatar are such concepts as -avatar, ava, avatar and userpic. At the same time, translated from English, userpic means - a user's picture.
An avatar is your virtual graphic representation on the Web in the form of a picture, photo or text. The user himself decides which avatar to upload to his page in social networks, chats, forums, blogs and other Internet sites.
Quite often, users prefer to remain incognito, as a result of which they use a variety of pictures as an avatar (photos of celebrities, animals, plants, objects, etc.).
An avatar or userpic will be displayed when viewing your account, as well as next to the messages you leave on the Web.
Do I need to install an avatar and how to do it
An avatar is not a required attribute of an account, which is why you can register anywhere without it. Ava simply allows you not to read users' nicknames (names or aliases).
Seeing ava, you can understand who owns the comment you are interested in. This is especially important for the players. The fact is that events in the game change so quickly that the participants simply do not have time to read the nicknames, but looking at the avatar they can quickly figure out what's what.
You can set up an avatar in your personal account on the Internet site where you plan to register or have already registered. You can upload a picture from your PC or electronic device to the avatar.
Sometimes the site itself may offer you to choose an ava from those already uploaded to the server. Moreover, it can be changed at any time to another image.
