"Starting on June 30, 2026, the Bitmoji app will no longer be available. We'll be bringing more Bitmoji experiences into the Snapchat app, so make sure to download Snapchat to continue accessing Bitmoji stickers, fashion, and the keyboard."
"It's an interesting shift, which comes as Snap looks to streamline its business to maximize cost efficiency, in anticipation of the launch of its AR glasses, which will mark the next big phase for the company."
"Snapchat said that users can continue to share Bitmoji stickers through the Snapchat app, and depending on device, users may be able to share Bitmoji stickers from their phone's keyboard with the Snapchat keyboard extension, or in iOS Messages with the Snapchat iMessage extension."
Snapchat is discontinuing its separate Bitmoji app, moving all functionality into the main Snapchat platform by June 30, 2026. Since acquiring Bitmoji creator Bitstrips in 2016, Snapchat has integrated Bitmoji characters as a core engagement feature. Users can continue accessing Bitmoji stickers, fashion items, and keyboard features through Snapchat. The company allows users to link their Bitmoji information to maintain their digital characters and share stickers via the Snapchat app, keyboard extension, or iMessage extension. This consolidation reflects Snap's cost efficiency efforts as it prepares for AR glasses development. Bitmoji remains popular, with over 2.7 billion avatars created and recent features including 2D character revival and AI-generated Bitmoji options.
