Bitmoji
Question
Please advise if “Bitmoji” is permissible to use? (“Bitmoji” is your own personal emoji. Create an expressive cartoon avatar, choose from a growing library of moods and stickers – featuring YOU!)
Answer
Bitmoji is your own personal emoji. Bitmoji is a secondary social media app that people use to create little cartoon versions of themselves, which they then use on their various social media accounts. (Wikipedia). Your Bitmoji represents you all around Snapchat. You can share your Bitmoji in Chat, change its look, and even bring it to life with 3D Bitmoji! Since Bitmoji clearly depicts an image of a living being, it will not be permissible to use.
