On July 19, Snapchat confirmed the acquisition of Bitstrips and instantly allowed users to insert Bitmoji in their Snaps and chats. You can think of Bitmoji as your own personal cartoon character that you can customize to look just like you. These animated avatars can then be sent in messaging apps to express different feelings and sentiments, like “Yaaaassss,” “Bye, Felicia,” and “I Can’t Even.”</p><figure class="medium inline"><img src="

a match made in heaven” and “
the moment we’ve all been waiting for.” It seemed like a win-win for both services.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3097606/iphone-ipad/snapchats-bitmoji-integration-shows-the-promise-and-problems-when-apps-collide.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
