Snapchat Revives 2D‑Style Bitmoji for Snapchat+ With ‘Comic Bitmoji’

Snap frames the opt-in look as a nostalgia play powered by its existing 3D engine.

Overview

  • Comic Bitmoji will roll out in the coming days as a Snapchat+ setting that applies a classic 2D-inspired style.
  • The feature functions like a filter on top of the 3D avatar system, preserving current customization and expressions.
  • When enabled, all Bitmoji in the app render in 2D for the subscriber, and stickers are sent in the selected style.
  • Snap cites strong user demand for the classic look, including a widely shared petition seeking the 2D aesthetic.
  • Bitmoji remains core to Snapchat with over 320 million daily users, and the update follows last year’s 3D overhaul and recent business momentum including a Perplexity AI partnership and 10% year-over-year revenue growth.
