Instagram doesn’t live on inspiration alone, and the company chose to bring to its app the ability for users to have two simultaneous profile pictures, one of them being the 3D avatar that you can create depending on your characteristics.

So when someone visits your profile, they can see both photos by clicking on your icon, and you can even alternate them so that the first one shows the avatar you created, instead of the photo you had.
This is one of Instagram’s coolest features because it lets you use it for more things, like video calling or even as an augmented reality filter in your stories.
