Snapchat is bringing Friendmoji to Apple’s Messages app

Snapchat’s personalized Friendmoji are soon going to become stickers in Apple’s iOS Messages app.

This update hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet, but when it does, it will allow users to send a variety of stickers that incorporate their friends’ Bitmoji.

If users have the Bitmoji app installed, they’ve had the ability to send personalized stickers for some time now. That said, this update will allow users to incorporate a friend’s Bitmoji as well.

Once users start receiving the update they’ll see a small Friendmoji icon in the corner of the Bitmoji keyboard. If their app is linked with Snapchat then they’ll have access to their friend’s Bitmoji characters as well.

Bitmoji is the product if the Toronto-based studio called Bitstrips. The company was bought by Snapchat during July of 2016.

Bitmojis have long been popular on Snapchat, which likely contributed to the launch of Apple’s Memoji, an attempt by the company to get in on the personalized emoji/sticker hype.

Memoji are only going to be available on iPhones that have FaceID technology, so there’s a very slim chance that Apple’s product overtakes Bitmoji anytime soon.
