Xbox live and avatars

Thank goodness Avatars where a DAY ONE Xbox Live Feature implemented on Xbox 1 (unlike voice messages, change dash background, etc). So I don't see Microsoft getting rid of Avatars anytime soon even though some may disagree and think they're a waste of time
or too grown up to have them.

"Xbox Avatars are avatars and characters that represent users of the Xbox Live service on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles, Windows 10, and Windows 10 Mobile.[1] Avatars debuted on the Xbox 360 as part of the "New Xbox Experience" system update
released on November 19, 2008."

Avatar (Xbox Live) - Wikipedia

You have to connect to Xbox Live and update your avatar awards. Just select 'Avatar Awards' in the avatar menu, and it should update your stuff.

Hi,

The Xbox avatar is linked to the Xbox Live child account, so the restrictions that you apply to his Xbox Live Account are automatically applied to his Xbox Avatar.

I hope it answers your question !

For anybody having this issue try this:

Disconnect from Xbox Live

Go to the avatar editor and create a new avatar (works for gender and items)

Once you are finished save and exit

Reconnect to Xbox Live

Go to the avatar editor once again and this time it should update without issue.

Avatars is an Xbox Live Feature which was included since Day 1 for Xbox 1 though. It's in Avatar App.

I would like avatars to be more dominant on the Dashboard, like on Xbox 360 they show up on the Social tab on 360 and in XBL Parties.

It's a good thing they didn't leave out this Xbox Live Feature when Xbox 1 first launched. Does that mean they'll be rolling out 4D Avatars? That would be interesting.
