Yes, it is possible to change your Bitmoji from a girl to a guy or vice versa. Bitmoji is a customizable avatar creation app that allows users to design an avatar that represents themselves. When you first create your Bitmoji, you select whether you want it to be male or female. However, you can go back later and edit the gender if you want to switch things up.
Steps to Change Bitmoji Gender
Here are the steps to change your Bitmoji from a girl to a guy:
1. Open the Bitmoji app on your device.
2. Tap on the profile icon in the top left corner.
3. Tap “Edit Avatar” at the bottom of the screen.
4. On the “Edit Avatar” screen, tap the gender icon (male or female symbol) next to “Style”.
5. Select the opposite gender from what your avatar currently is.
6. You will see your avatar automatically change to reflect the new gender.
7. Scroll through the customization options and make any other changes you want to refine the look.
8. Tap “Save” in the top right when you are finished editing.
9. Your avatar’s gender has now been officially changed and updated across all linked services.
Considerations When Changing Gender
Here are some things to keep in mind when changing your Bitmoji’s gender:
– Only one gender is allowed per account. You cannot have both a male and female version at the same time.
– Changing the gender will change the entire look of your avatar. Hair, facial features, body shape, and clothing will all switch over to the gender-appropriate styles.
– Any gender-specific customizations you previously made will be removed when you change to the opposite gender.
– Your avatar’s name will remain the same even when you change the gender. You can edit the name separately in the profile settings.
– Linking services like Snapchat or Instagram will update to show the new gender and look. You may need to reconnect some links.
– Bitmoji backgrounds and stickers featuring your old avatar may still show up until they are refreshed. Give it some time to switch over everywhere.
– You can always change back to your previous gender if you don’t like the switch. Just repeat the gender change steps.
