Last week, October 2nd through the 8th, Snapchat updated their Bitmojis including more advanced hair textures, face shading, and body proportions for their characters. Many users are angry and think the new Bitmojis are ugly. People hope that Snapchat changes the Bitmojis back. 

Snapchat is an app where you can watch videos, try on filters, talk to friends, and more. You can add people, and see where they are, as well as being able to see when they are online. Snap is downloaded by millions of people and is very popular. Snapchat recently changed their Bitmojis and people have mixed feelings. Lots of people think the Bitmojis should be changed back.

Other users don’t mind the change. One said, “Low-key my Bitmoji is looking cute.” With any update to a social media platform, users are getting nostalgic for the good old days of Snapchat, and the original Bitmoji that hadn’t existed long before this update. In a TikTok that’s garnered more than 2.8 million views and 320,000 likes @princense0 captioned a video of old Bitmojis with, “I miss the old 2D Bitmojis.” 

The Bitmojis have lots of different opinions so I made a poll to see what people think! The poll had 46.7 percent that had people say no, they don’t like the new Bitmojis, and 26 percent said yes, but 27.2 said sort of. Snapchat hasn’t responded to people’s reactions, but people are hoping the old Bitmojis will be back soon!
