Bitmoji lets you create enhanced, personalized emojis that are based on your own appearance. While you can send Bitmojis directly from the app, it's more convenient to add them to messages from your iPhone's keyboard. Simply installing the app doesn't add Bitmoji to your keyboard, though; you need to do that yourself.

How to add Bitmoji to the iPhone keyboard

1. If you haven't already, download Bitmoji from the App Store, create an account, and follow the instructions to customize your Bitmoji avatar.

2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

3. Tap "General."

4. Tap "Keyboard."

You can add Bitmoji in the keyboard settings.

5. At the top of the Keyboards page, tap "Keyboards."

6. Tap "Add New Keyboard…"

7. In the "Third Party Keyboards" section, tap "Bitmoji."

Any installed keyboards will be found on the "Add New Keyboard" page.

8. You should now see Bitmoji in the list of installed keyboards. Tap "Bitmoji."

9. Turn on "Allow Full Access" by swiping the button to the right. Confirm you want to do this by tapping "Allow" in the pop-up window.

Before you can use Bitmoji, you need to allow access.

That's it – Bitmoji is now added to your keyboard. To use it, open a messaging app, Mail, or any other app that includes the keyboard. At the bottom left of the keyboard, tap and hold the globe icon and tap "Bitmoji." You should see the full set of Bitmoji stickers, which you can paste into your message.

To switch to the Bitmoji keyboard, use the globe icon.
