How to Delete Your Bitmoji Avatar On Snapchat (2024)

Snapchat’s Bitmojis are customizable cartoon-like avatars that have become a popular feature among users. Many people enjoy using them as profile pictures and sending them to friends as stickers. Snapchat allows users to set and customize their Bitmoji avatars, which act as personal emojis representing your virtual version in chats, on the Snap Map, and in other features.

However, there are times when you want to delete your Bitmoji avatar. Whether you’re looking for a fresh start with a new Bitmoji avatar or prefer using Snapchat without one, deleting your current Bitmoji is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it.

How to Remove Bitmoji Avatar from Snapchat:

Don’t get stuck with an old or boring Bitmoji avatar that you created once on Snapchat. Here’s a detailed guide on how to remove your Bitmoji from Snapchat using two ways:

• Via the Snapchat app
• Via the Bitmoji app.

Method 1: Using the Snapchat App

• Open the Snapchat app and tap on the “Profile icon (Bitmoji)” in the top-left corner of the camera screen.
• Tap on the “Settings (Gear-icon)” in the top-right corner.
• Navigate to “Bitmoji” and tap on it.
• Select “Unlink My Bitmoji” (on Android) or “Remove My Bitmoji” (on iPhone).
• Tap “Remove” to confirm deleting your Bitmoji avatar on Snapchat.

Note: If you created your Bitmoji avatar through Snapchat, unlinking or removing it will permanently delete your avatar and all fashion items saved in the “My Wardrobe” section.

Method 2: Using the Bitmoji App

This method will permanently delete your Bitmoji and automatically remove it from Snapchat.

• Open the “Bitmoji”
• Tap on the “Settings” icon at the top left corner.
• Tap “My Data” and select “Reset Avatar.”
• Finally, tap “OK” to confirm your request.
• The Bitmoji avatar gets deleted from both the Bitmoji and Snapchat apps.

What Happens After Deleting Your Bitmoji on Snapchat?

Here are a few things that might happen after deleting or removing your Bitmoji avatar from Snapchat:

• Deleted from Both Apps: If you created your Bitmoji avatar using the Bitmoji app with your Snapchat login, removing the avatar will delete it from both the Bitmoji and Snapchat apps.
• Loss of Limited Edition Items: Any limited edition items in your closet will be permanently lost after deleting your Bitmoji avatar.
• Profile Appearance: Your Snapchat profile and Snapcode will no longer display your Bitmoji avatar. Instead, your profile will appear as a blank silhouette on a translucent background.
• No Impact on Other Features: Deleting your Bitmoji avatar won’t affect other Snapchat features. You can still chat, post stories, send snaps, and more.
• Unavailable Features: Some features like Friendmoji stickers, Bitmoji stickers, and Bitmoji stories will no longer be available on the app.
• Snap Map Customization: Your Bitmoji avatar won’t appear on the Snap Map, and thereby customization options (like adding a pet, car, or landmark) won’t work as expected.
• Creating a New Bitmoji: You can always create a new Bitmoji even after deleting the Bitmoji avatar. Tap on your empty profile picture, go to “Create My Avatar,” and customize your new Bitmoji’s body type, features, outfits, and accessories.
• No Recovery of Deleted Bitmoji: Once deleted, your Bitmoji can’t be recovered. You’ll need to create a new one with all the desired features from the beginning.
• Editing Your Bitmoji: If you just want to make changes without deleting your Bitmoji, tap “Edit My Bitmoji” in the Bitmoji section under “My Account” to update its appearance without unlinking or removing it. Create it the way you want to resemble the avatar.
