The internet age has come with endless ways for us to express ourselves as human beings. Indeed, with all sorts of different social media platforms and the ideas attached to them, the opportunities are unmatched. However, while other social media platforms are full of good ideas, they haven’t even come close to being as popular as Bitmoji.
First off, the platform lets you choose from 40 skin tones, 50 hair treatments, different colors and more to customize your digital avatar to look just like you. There are even different styles like Bitmoji Classic and Bitmoji Deluxe to make sure you create a Bitmoji you prefer to look at.
What’s even crazier is that you can take a selfie from the Bitmoji mobile app and it will try to recreate you from the inside. While this is never a perfect solution, you are usually given a good framework to build on. This way, you always have the opportunity to create a Bitmoji that looks exactly like you.
Bitmoji was acquired by Snapchat for $64 million in 2016, which has helped boost the app’s popularity. What Snap really bought was Bitstrips, the company that created Bitmoji. Back then, the characters were incredibly shallow compared to what they are now. Integration with the Snapchat app and even iMessage has definitely changed that. Users use these avatars to showcase how they’re feeling, their thoughts, and more. Even two Bitmojis can interact with each other depending on whether or not both people in the conversation have one.
However, with all these customizations, some users may want to change their Bitmoji gender to express themselves more. This may be due to an accidental gender selection at creation, or perhaps the person is changing the genders and wishes represented in their Bitmoji. Either way, this guide will teach you how to change your Bitmoji gender in just a few easy steps.
How to Change Bitmoji Gender
If you’ve accidentally selected the wrong gender for your Bitmoji or want to change the gender for any reason, we’ll show you how to fix it.
When you first download the Bitmoji mobile app, you have to choose which gender you like. However, if you’ve already gone through this step and want to change the gender of an already created Bitmoji, follow these tips to do it.
Sign in to the Bitmoji app on your iPhone or Android device. From there, log in with your Snapchat email or ID next to the password. Next, tap the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of your screen. From there, go to the “Settings” section.
Go to the “My Account” tab from the list of settings and click it. Next, select “Reset Avatar”. The app will ask if you are sure you want to reset your avatar. Selecting “Yes” will give you a gender selection screen between male and female. Essentially, you are creating a new one here. But the steps to make your avatar look like you again are very easy. Just go through the creation process from there and recreate what you had before – albeit with a different gender now. Or make one that looks completely different. It’s up to you! Express yourself however you prefer.
Customization for Days
Now that you know how to change your Bitmoji gender, you can focus on customizing all the other different aspects about your digital avatar. It’s quite surprising that there are so many different talents.
You can give your Bitmoji different colors and styles of hats, glasses, earrings and other accessories. That’s not to mention the variety of shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other traditional clothing items. There are also holiday-themed outfits for you to wear or even purchase to support the Bitmoji developers.
As time goes on, these customization options will increase even more. Again, you’d be surprised how limited these choices were when the app first launched. Without Snapchat, we might never have an alternative to this Bitmoji.
But iOS is trying to compete with them. They now have their own version of Bitmoji that tracks your face and even expressions just like you do. If you smile, the digital avatar smiles too. Same with flashing and other interactions. It’s a crazy modern form of technology that will only evolve. We’ll have to see how Snapchat counters that.
Otherwise, we hope this guide helped you. I hope you can choose your preferred gender for your Bitmoji.
