There’s an ongoing race on using Bitmoji avatars on social media platforms. Snapchat introduced such a feature last July 2021. It even applied for a Bitmoji fashion patent. Recently, Facebook launched an Avatar Store to dress up Bitmoji avatars. Today, Twitter tests Bitmoji profile images.
As tweeted by Alessandro Paluzzi, a reverse engineering expert, Twitter now works on using Snapchat Bitmoji avatars s profile images. Under the Pick a Profile Picture tab, Twitter users will now have two options:
- Upload a picture from your device gallery
- Add a Btmoji avatar. Once a user connects to a Bitmoji account, the user can now upload Bitmoji avatars and stickers.
As such, users will now have another option to use digital avatars to represent them.
Twitter tests Bitmoji profile images on 01 July 2022.

Twitter’s Bitmoji profile images can be a great way for marketers to showcase brands, products, and services using Bitmoji avatars. As Bitmoji popularly becomes a trend, it can significantly increase brand awareness and reach.
