New accounts could use the selfie photo, old accounts couldn't. We've tested it out on old and new accounts, and this seems to be the case. Even if you 'Reset Avatar' from the settings, it won't work you may see the 'Start with a Selfie' prompt and be able to take a photo, but the avatar in the editor will be the generic one you have to build from scratch or your last one used. So, if you've already created a Bitmoji with your account, you will not be able to take another selfie to automate the creation process. It's only available to first-time users, according to Bitmoji, and we've verified that. You can only create a Bitmoji Deluxe using your likeness via a selfie once after creating an account. Choose 'Use This Style' under Bitmoji Deluxe. Next, hit the option labeled 'Change Avatar Style.' You'll be able to cycle through the available styles now, like Bitstrips, Bitmoji Classic, and Bitmoji Deluxe. However, if not, from the main page inside the Bitmoji app, tap on the gear icon at the top.

You may also be directed to 'Create Bitmoji' after creating an account with an email. If you log in with your Snapchat account, the Snapchat app will open up with a prompt to 'Create Bitmoji,' so hit that button to jump back into the Bitmoji app. Then, open up Bitmoji and sign in using an email address and password or using your Snapchat account. Step 1: Choose 'Bitmoji Deluxe'įirst, update the Bitmoji app for iPhone or Android if you already have it installed install it if you don't. Snapchat boasts that the new style 'includes hundreds of new ways to customize your Bitmoji,' such as 'additional skin tones, hairstyles, hair colors, facial features, accessories, and more.' Additionally, you'll be able to take a selfie to use as a reference point when putting together your new Bitmoji Deluxe to help with the extra control you'll be given. But Snapchat has a third style now that will redefine the way you use Bitmojis.īitmoji Deluxe is a new style that builds on the existing Bitmoji style (now called Bitmoji Classic). Formerly, there were two 'styles' that you could pick from to make your Bitmoji: Bitstrips style and Bitmoji style. These are small avatars that you create in your own likeness and use all throughout Snapchat.

Accompanying Snapchat's core features, like editing snaps and applying filters to them, is Bitmojis.
