Methods, systems, and devices for managing avatars across different software applications

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, over a communication network, a first request from a communication device associated with a user to present a group of active avatars on a user interface of an avatar management software application on the communication device, wherein each of the group of active avatars are associated with a software application resulting in a group of software applications;
• receiving, over the communication network, a group of credentials associated with the group of software applications to access the group of active avatars from the communication device;
• obtaining, over the communication network, each of the group of active avatars from an associated application server of a group of application servers utilizing credentials from the group of credentials;
• and
• providing, over the communication network, the group of active avatars to the communication device.

• identifying, by the processing system, a first portion of the group of avatars as a group of active avatars and identifying, by the processing system, a second portion of the group of avatars as a group of inactive avatars;
• and
• providing, by the processing system, over the communication network, the group of avatars to the communication device.
