Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is also adding new face shapes and accessories for people with disabilities.

“When you create your avatar you can choose the right facial features, body type, clothing style and more so that you can create your virtual self,” he said.
The update adds cochlear implants and over-the-ear hearing aids (for one or both ears) in a variety of colors and across all platforms, including virtual reality.
This also includes wheelchairs, which will appear in stickers on Facebook, in Messenger chats, and in DMs on Instagram.
