Open the Bitmoji app. It’s the green icon with a white winking chat bubble on the home screen or in the app drawer.

Select a Bitmoji style. Choose a Bitmoji or Bitstrips Style avatar. Here’s the difference between the two:
- Bitmoji-style is simpler and more cartoonish.
- Bitstrips-style has more customization options and looks a little bit more realistic.

Question

How do I attach a bitmoji to a text message?

Community Answer

You need to get the bitmoji keyboard on your phone settings. If it’s an iPhone, go to Settings-->General--> Keyboard--> Keyboards, add a new keyboard. Add Bitmoji from there.

Question

How can I make my Bitmoji have long hair?

Trinity G

Community Answer

If your current Bitmoji is in "Bitmoji Style" you cannot have long hair. If you change your Bitmoji to "Bitstrips Style" you will be able to change the hair length.
