HBO Max is giving fans their choice of avatars after the streaming platform has really hit its stride. A lot of people were surprised that this functionality wasn’t available initially, but now the users can select a pre-made profile picture or submit their own. HBO Max’s social accounts laid out how the process works, and fans were excited about the prospect of more customization. User profiles on streaming platforms is nothing new, but for HBO Max users, this will help with curation for each individual part of a household. For a family, maybe the parents want their own profile while the kids get an experience more tailored to their interests. That’s all a bit more feasible now. A lot of people might not have even known this functionality existed after they set up the app initially. The base experience sees the profile area as a circle with initials inside and a choice of color gradient. Now, you can pick from your favorite shows or even take that dazzling smile and have that be your picture.
