Facebook hasn't indicated when the feature will begin testing.

Cartoon avatars are a definitely becoming a thing for Facebook. The social network has been heavily invested in Facebook Spaces' VR avatars lately, and it has upgraded them a couple of times to make them more realistic and customizable.

It's possible Facebook Avatars could be generated automatically from a picture of a user's face in the same way.

UPDATE: May 8, 2018, 2:21 p.m. EDT A Facebook spokesperson sent Mashable the following statement: "“We’re looking into more ways to help people express themselves on Facebook.”
