Work chats, Fun chats, Venting chats... Are the avatars all look the same, or the images don't match the text, making them hard to distinguish? Use TeaTeaAvatar to create a set of group avatars! Utilizes carefully selected gradient color schemes Combines with emojis Creates more fun text-based avatars 1. What is this app used for? Creating avatars featuring a gradient background, capable of displaying one or two lines of theme text or emojis. Generally, these avatars are suitable for instant messaging platforms (such as QQ, WeChat, etc.), and are particularly well-suited for groups with distinct themes (like QQ groups). 2. How is it better than other apps? It makes it easier to create beautiful and clear avatars. You can combine nearly 30 types of carefully selected gradient backgrounds (which are constantly being added), combined with easily readable text styles and emojis, allowing you to quickly create avatar files specifically optimized for instant messaging platforms, suitable for display on mobile or computer screens. 3. Can I use it? If you can install it from the app store, that means you can use it. To save the avatars you create, you need to allow the app's photos access permission. You do not need to allow any other permissions. 4. How do I use it? Avatar creation can be roughly divided into the following steps: Enter text, design text color, design background color, and save. To use the Pride feature, you can tap the Pride button in the top right corner of the screen at any time to add a rainbow pattern to the avatar. 5. What should I do if I encounter problems while using it? The app's functionality is relatively simple, and the developer has tested it thoroughly to the best of their ability to ensure stability and effectiveness. If you experience system errors or software glitches while using it, you can contact the developer using the provided contact information on the app's "Instructions" page to resolve the issue. 6. How is my personal data (privacy) protected? The app places paramount importance on protecting your personal data. The app requests only one permission from the system: "Add Photos to Album." The first time you save an avatar, the system (iOS or iPadOS) will prompt you to grant this permission to the app; you can choose according to your needs. If you choose not to grant it, you can still obtain the avatar you created by taking screenshots. The app has no online features, no notifications, does not collect or upload any of your information, and will not display any notifications to you. The text you enter into the app is part of the design material you voluntarily input. The app will display the text you entered during your last session when it closes or switches whenever you restart the app. Please take personal responsibility for protecting the privacy of this information. ---- Legal Privacy Policy: See our privacy policy (https://lilac-amaryllis-3d5.notion.site/TeeTeeAvatar-Privacy-Policy-26fd2e9ceeb380309578ddcba70df52f) Terms of Use: This app uses the Standard Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.(https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/)
