Snapchat has taken the world of instant messaging by storm with disappearing content, making it a uniquely secure means of contact. Once you set up an account, you can’t change the basic information, including gender, directly.
However, you can overcome this constraint by modifying the gender of your Snapchat avatar using the Bitmoji app. Below, we will guide you through the entire process of changing your Snapchat gender to ensure a seamless and personalized experience while engaging with friends and followers.
The Bitmoji application, available for both Android and iOS devices, is a delightful sidekick app that transforms your online persona into a charming, cartoonish version of you. Ideal for spicing up your social media presence, Bitmoji offers an array of customized avatars and expressive content to amp up your digital conversations. Although the app itself is free, in-app purchases are necessary for greater avatar customization.
Dive into the world of Bitmoji, where you can craft an avatar to represent your unique personality and gender preferences, seamlessly integrating with Snapchat. It’s a breeze to get started—just head to your device’s app store and download the Bitmoji app.
As mentioned, the only way to change your gender on Snapchat is by editing your Bitmoji avatar to match your desired gender. This means that you’ll still need to link a Bitmoji account. Additionally, regardless of the Bitmoji avatar’s gender, the base information you provided during Snapchat account creation won’t change.
The Bitmoji app also offers a wide range of clothing and accessories to personalize your avatar’s appearance.
To explore outfit options, launch the Bitmoji app, tap the clothing hanger icon, and browse through the available categories. Select the desired outfit, and tap the checkmark to save your choices.
Bitmoji has announced that it will upgrade all users to Bitmoji Deluxe during 2023, further improving your customization opportunities.
Compared to its bevvy of customizations for skin tone, hair color, and designs, Bitmoji’s avatars are fairly limited in gender and body shape options.
Users can choose either male or female-looking avatars. You can customize the general body shape of the avatar based on the chosen gender—breast size for female avatars and general bulk or body shape for male avatars. However, no other gender or body shape options currently exist. There have been no reports on any upcoming changes to these designs as of time of writing.
Snapchat offers an extensive collection of lenses and filters to enhance your snaps. To use a lens, open the Snapchat camera, tap and hold on your face, and swipe through the available lenses. To access filters, swipe left or right after capturing a snap. Snapchat also allows you to create custom filters for special occasions through the “Filters & Lenses” option in the settings menu.
For example, you can use a feminine filter, noted by a face wearing mascara and lipstick in a purple circle, to soften your facial features. While the filter isn’t perfect, it approximates how you might look as a woman. The similar principle could be applied if you want to look manlier by applying the masculine filter, which will make the jawline more angular and usually applies a five-o’clock shadow or a beard.
The beauty of Bitmoji lies in its simplicity. This seemingly single-purpose app delivers personalized flair without bogging users down with unnecessary extras. Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Bitmoji and let your personality shine through every pixel!
Bitmoji, while owned by Snapchat and working primarily within that app, offers compatibility with numerous platforms such as Facebook, Gboard, iMessage, Slack, Chrome, and even Gmail. It also boasts unique features like Bitmoji for games.
Changing one’s gender on Snapchat via the Bitmoji app is a relatively simple process that requires unlinking the existing avatar, modifying the gender, and linking the new avatar to the Snapchat account. Even though the Snapchat app itself doesn’t allow this change, the Bitmoji workaround will provide decent results and your online avatar will match your desired gender.
