How to Get Your Bitmoji to Play Music on Snapchat

Snapchat’s Snap Map feature shows your current physical location to anyone you choose to share this information with. As long as you keep the Snapchat app open and don’t turn on Ghost Mode, your friends and family members will see your Bitmoji (your customizable animated avatar) at your current location on the Snapchat map. Your Bitmoji will move around the map as your physical location changes.

You may have noticed that other people’s Bitmojis are not always static. Sometimes they drive miniature cars, fly miniature planes or listen to music with headphones. If you’re wondering how your Bitmoji can play music and do all the other fun stuff, this article will provide the answers.

Lets start.

How to Get Your Bitmoji to Stream Music?

Getting your Bitmoji to play music is surprisingly simple.

All you have to do is play music on your phone while the Snapchat app is open. Your Bitmoji will immediately start jamming to a good melody with the headphones on and the musical notes flying around. It doesn’t matter what app you use to play music as long as Snapchat is open. As soon as the music stops, the headphones will disappear and Bitmoji will return to normal.

However, there is currently no way to make your Bitmoji perform this animation permanently.

Other methods

There is another way to make your Bitmoji play music.

But with this animation your Bitmoji is not wearing headphones. He will still have musical notes flying around his head and your Bitmoji will dance.

This will happen when you attend a concert or music festival. The Snap Map feature keeps a regularly updated list of concerts, festivals and other local events, often with relevant venues marked on the map.

When you’re in one of these venues, not only will your Bitmoji dance, but your friends will be able to see the full concert you’re attending inside the bubble next to your Bitmoji.

Other Cool Things Your Bitmoji Can Do

As mentioned earlier, there are lots of fun things your Bitmoji can do.

For example, if it’s your birthday, your Bitmoji will get a balloon and a matching birthday hat all day long. Of course you will need to set your birthday in Snapchat settings first for this to work.

Yet that is not all. Let’s look at five other fun things you can do with your Bitmoji:

Flying an airplane: If you open Snapchat at an airport, your Bitmoji will hop on a plane and fly to your destination.

Navigate Your Bitmoji: If you’re driving with the Snapchat app open, your Bitmoji will show as driving.

Take a Break While Traveling: If you’re standing near an airport, your Bitmoji will be shown as taking a break with luggage on its back.

Take Your Bitmoji to the Beach: Head to the beach, open the Snapchat app and your Bitmoji will start making castles in the sand.

Play a Round of Golf: With your Snapchat open, visit a golf course and play a round of golf with your Bitmoji.

These Bitmoji animations are a fun and unique way to share what you’re making with your friends, so give them a try!

How to Protect Your Privacy on Snapchat

While playing with your Bitmoji is undeniably fun, there’s a not-so-minor privacy issue to consider here. This feature ensures that your friends can always see where you are and what you are up to.

Fortunately, you can customize your privacy settings on Snapchat if you don’t want others to know where you are or what you’re doing. There are three ways to do this:

1. From the setup screen, choose who can see your location on the Snap Map. Choose “My Friends” for all your friends, “Select Friends…” to choose friends who can track your location, or “Me Only (Ghost Mode)” to make yourself invisible to all Snapchat users.
   
2. On the camera screen, pinch your fingers together to open the Settings menu and choose one of the three location sharing options.
   
3. From the main Snapchat screen, tap your Bitmoji in the top left and then the Settings (gear) icon. In the “Who Can…” section, tap “See My Location” and choose your preferred option.
   

If you are not comfortable sharing your location with your Snapchat friends, following the steps listed above will help you hide your activity and protect your privacy while using the app.
