What is a Bitmoji?

A Bitmoji is a personalized cartoon avatar that you can create to represent yourself. It allows you to create a character that resembles your physical appearance and choose different outfits and accessories. 

Bitmoji can be used in various messaging apps, social media platforms, and even in emails to express yourself visually. It’s a fun way to add a personal touch to your online presence and communicate with others.

What’s the use of a Bitmoji?

Bitmoji is used for a variety of reasons. It allows users to create personalized avatars that they can use to express themselves visually in a fun way. 

It also provides a way to communicate feelings, emotions, and reactions that can be difficult to express through words alone. Bitmoji users can choose from a wide range of pre-made Bitmojis or create entirely custom ones that can then be used in countless messaging apps or social media platforms. 

Similarly, Bitmojis has also been praised as an accessibility app for individuals with communicative hurdles. People with reading disorders, selective mutism, speech disabilities, and people on the autism spectrum find Bitmoji useful in conveying feelings and messages more comfortably and efficiently. 

Lastly, Bitmoji can also be used as a marketing tool to establish a brand’s identity and engage with an audience in a more personal way.

Is Bitmoji only for Snapchat?

Bitmoji is not only for Snapchat. While Bitmoji was originally created as a standalone app by Bitstrips, it was later acquired by Snapchat in 2016. 

Snapchat integrated Bitmoji into its platform, allowing users to link their Bitmoji account and use their personalized Bitmoji avatars in Snapchat chats, stories, and other features.

However, you can also use Bitmoji in other apps and platforms beyond Snapchat. Bitmoji has its own app that you can use to create and customize your Bitmoji avatar. You can then use the Bitmoji app to share your Bitmoji stickers in messaging apps like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Additionally, you can use Bitmoji as a keyboard extension on iPhones or share them directly from your keyboard if it supports Bitmoji. 

How to change your Bitmoji?

If you want to make changes to your Bitmoji, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Bitmoji app: Launch the Bitmoji app on your mobile device.
2. Tap on your profile icon: Tap on the profile icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Tap on “Edit Bitmoji”: From the profile screen, look for the “Edit Bitmoji” button and tap on it.
4. Customize your Bitmoji: Once you’re in the Bitmoji customization section, you can change various aspects of your Bitmoji’s appearance. Depending on the feature you want to change, you can swipe left or right on the screen to access different categories and choose the new customization options.
5. Review changes: After you’ve made your changes, tap the “Save” button to save your new Bitmoji.

Once you’ve updated your Bitmoji, your changes will automatically be synced with the apps and platforms you use Bitmoji on. If you use Bitmoji with Snapchat or other messaging apps, you should be able to see your updated avatar in those apps right away.

It’s worth mentioning that while you can change your Bitmoji’s appearance, you cannot change the Bitmoji’s avatar type (Bitmoji Deluxe, Bitmoji Classic, or Bitstrips). If you want to switch to a different avatar type, you’ll have to delete your current Bitmoji and start from scratch with the new avatar type.
