What Is a Bitmoji?
A Bitmoji is an application that enables users to get creative by making cartoon versions of themselves. These creative cartoon versions can be used on the user’s profile on social media platforms.
Creating a Bitmoji is simple and the fun part is that it helps users to express themselves uniquely. You can be creative by choosing a specific avatar for yourself. Use the Bitmoji to express yourself in any way you like.
Originally Bitstrips, Bitmoji was bought by Snapchat and mostly stayed on the app for a long time. However, in the past few years, Bitmoji has seen a huge surge in the number of users sharing their avatars on third-party apps.
