How to Join the Bitmoji Trend

Snapchat is expanding its avatar ecosystem through the introduction of Bitmoji Plaza, a virtual 3D environment designed to move user interactions beyond traditional messaging and 2D stickers.

Bitmoji Plaza serves as a shared 3D space where users can interact using their personalized avatars. The feature represents a shift toward more immersive, dimensional virtual interactions, blending personalized avatar customization with a communal environment.

Access and Availability

Bitmoji Plaza is currently an opt-in experience. A user’s Bitmoji and the Bitmojis of their friends, will only appear within the Plaza if the individuals have specifically chosen to join.

At this time, Bitmoji Plaza is available exclusively on the web. It is not available within the Snapchat mobile application.

Users who wish to manage their participation can toggle the feature on or off through the web settings menu under the Bitmoji Plaza section.

Integration of Social Trends and Customization

The expansion of the Bitmoji ecosystem is coinciding with a rise in user-generated trends across other social platforms. On TikTok, users have shared tutorials on creating specific Bitmoji animations and outfits.

These trends include the creation of kiss animations and the use of specific Bitmoji kiss effect filters and templates, demonstrating how the avatar system is being used for creative expression outside of the core Snapchat interface.

Broader Platform Context

The development of the 3D Plaza aligns with Snapchat’s ongoing efforts to evolve its user experience. This is part of a broader suite of features that include the Snapchat Recap, such as the 2025 version titled Your Year In A Snap, which summarizes user activity over the previous year.

By transitioning Bitmoji from static images and stickers into a 3D world, Snap is addressing a growing demand for engaging online experiences that go beyond standard text and image sharing.
