How to Get Old Bitmoji Back

Did you recently update your Snapchat Bitmoji avatar to the new version only to be disappointed and want the old version back?

Well, you are not alone since many Snapchat users have been feeling this way and would like to change their Bitmoji avatar back to the classic version.

In today’s guide, I will explain how and if you can change your Snapchat Bitmoji avatar back to the old version. It is your Snapchat Bitmoji avatar and you should be able to adjust it in any way that you see fit.

Can You Go Back to Old Bitmoji Avatar Snapchat?

Yes, you can in fact go back to the old Bitmoji avatar on Snapchat. You might not be a fan of the somewhat new update to Snapchat, which introduced a 3D Bitmoji avatar for your Snapchat account.

You might be one of the Snapchat users that ended up regretting the update to the new 3D version of your Bitmoji avatar. Snapchat is a social media platform that puts an emphasis on sharing photos and videos with your friends.

With this in mind, you likely want a Bitmoji avatar that best represents you; however, you might also long for the days when you had the classic version of your Bitmoji avatar on Snapchat.

With that said, you can switch back to the original version of your Bitmoji avatar for your Snapchat account.

However, some Snapchat/Bitmoji users have taken to forums such as Reddit and have stated that after switching back to the classic version of their Bitmoji avatar, they could not upgrade again, which could simply be a bug issue with Snapchat.

Some Snapchat users have also claimed that this method does not work; however, this could be due to an app error with Snapchat. 

As you might be aware of, Bitmoji is a secondary social media app that you can use to create a small animated version of yourself, which you can then use on other different social media applications.

This miniature Bitmoji avatar can be used for your Snapchat account but you might not like the upgrade version, which means you will likely want to go back to the classic version of your Bitmoji avatar for your Snapchat account.
