Snapchat Brings Back 2D-Style Bitmoji for Snapchat+ Subscribers

The paid rollout answers persistent calls to restore the classic comic look.

Overview

  • Snap said the Comic Bitmoji option will begin appearing for Snapchat+ members in the coming days.
  • Enabling the setting renders every Bitmoji seen in the app in 2D and lets users send stickers in the same style.
  • The 2D appearance is produced by a filter on top of Snap’s 3D avatar system, keeping existing customizations and expressions intact.
  • The change follows sustained user pushback, including a Change.org petition nearing 100,000 signatures that reports CEO Evan Spiegel among the signers.
  • Snap cites more than 320 million daily Bitmoji users and says designers refined proportions, shading and outlines to ensure the 2D renders work across body types and fashion traits.
