Snap announced on Monday that you would be able to
pose your Bitmoji character in 3D on your Snapchat profile.
Bitmojis have been a prominent feature of Snapchat
profiles since 2017, when they were made the default image within Snapcodes,
the QR codes displayed on profiles that link to your personal profile.
Bitmojis on profiles were previously just heads and
shoulders within Snapcodes. They're now more visible than ever before. Snapchat
users will be able to display 3D full-body versions of their Bitmoji avatars on
their profiles starting Monday.
Users may now choose from a variety of positions,
such as peace signs or 3/4 turns, as well as backgrounds, such as colourful
wallpaper or city scenes, with the new design.
Bitstrips, a producer of Bitmojis, was bought by
Snap in 2016. Snapchat has since integrated the configurable, animated avatars
into the rest of the app. This includes games in which a user's Bitmoji serves
as their avatar, as well as a cartoon series in which each person's Bitmoji
served as the "star" of a TV show.
However, the profile glow-up is noteworthy, given
that Snapchat has always emphasized the importance of profiles in the app. Snap
wants users to share their actual, in-the-moment identities, rather than a
static and polished profile, for a slightly philosophical reason.
The full-body Bitmoji can be seen walking down a
city street or breaking a move on the dance floor. The little' avatars come to
life because of the different perspectives of the postures. While full-body
Bitmojis (and outfits) have been available for a while, Snap claims that its
"pixar-quality 3D" allows for more features and textures. Snap offers
a wide range of personalization possibilities, from skin colour to body type
and beyond.
On Monday, the profile changes will be rolled out
globally. While you may not notice the change right away, you can access your
profile by clicking your Bitmoji in the top left corner of your screen. Then,
scroll down to the "Bitmoji" section to change your outfit, edit your
Bitmoji, and, of course, "Shop Bitmoji Merch."
