Snapchat is making its usersĀ replace their Snapcode pictures with their Bitmoji avatars. Previously, an actual picture was able to be used inside the ghost-shaped frame.
The change comes along with the theĀ latest update to Snapchat, version 10.9.1.0. The mood of the Bitmoji can be changed as well by tapping “Edit Bitmoji.”
The VergeĀ notes that users who havenāt yet created Bitmoji seem to have been unaffected by this change and are instead ableĀ to continue using their old profile pictures. However, those who do not have a profile picture areĀ prompted to create a Bitmoji.
It’s worth noting that the push for greaterĀ Bitmoji integration makes sense from a business perspective. SnapchatĀ actually owns Bitstrips, the Toronto-based company that makes Bitmoji,Ā following a $100 million acquisition that was finalizedĀ last year.
In other Snapchat news, the social media platform recently added more customization options for Stories.
