As we move towards more sophisticated modes of communication via various online social platforms, companies are working to improve the fun elements of social messaging. We recently saw Microsoft unveil over 1,800 new emojis, including Clippy, with a 3D view for its products. Now, Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, has introduced 3D Bitmoji Profile avatars in Snapchat with a new update.

Now, it is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Snap is offering 3D Bitmoji characters in Snapchat. The app, back in 2017, introduced a feature in Snapchat that let users leverage dedicated lenses to bring their Bitmoji avatar in 3D and animate them in the real world using augmented reality (AR). However, users could not use a 3D Bitmoji character to showcase on their profiles, until now.
