Deleting Your Bitmoji Takes Two Steps: Remove the App and Close Your Account

To fully delete your Bitmoji, you need to remove the app from your phone and then close your account through Snapchat's website. Bitmoji is owned by Snapchat, so your Bitmoji account is tied to your Snapchat login. Deleting just the app leaves your account and avatar data on Snapchat's servers. Closing the account removes both.

The process takes about five minutes and is permanent — once your account is deleted, you cannot recover your Bitmoji avatar or any customizations you made to it. If you use Bitmoji in other apps like Gboard (Google's keyboard), those integrations will stop working after deletion.

Key Takeaways

  • Bitmoji accounts are managed through Snapchat, so you log in with your Snapchat username and password.
  • Removing the Bitmoji app from your phone does not delete your account — your avatar remains on Snapchat's servers.
  • To permanently delete your Bitmoji, you must visit the Snapchat website and go through the account deletion process.
  • Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so make sure you want to remove your avatar before you proceed.

Remove the Bitmoji App From Your Phone

Start by deleting the Bitmoji app itself from your device. On iPhone, press and hold the Bitmoji app icon on your home screen, then tap "Remove App" and confirm. On Android, press and hold the Bitmoji app, tap the trash icon or "Uninstall", and confirm the removal.

This step alone does not close your account — it only removes the app from your device. Your Bitmoji avatar and account information remain stored on Snapchat's servers. You will need to complete the second step to fully delete your account.

Close Your Bitmoji Account Through Snapchat's Website

Go to accounts.snapchat.com in a web browser on your computer or phone and log in with your Snapchat username and password. If you do not remember your password, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it before you proceed.

Once logged in, look for the account settings or privacy section. Scroll down until you find the option to delete your account. Snapchat may ask you to confirm your password again for security. After you confirm, your account will be scheduled for deletion. Snapchat typically takes a few days to fully remove your data from their servers, though the account becomes inaccessible when ready.

What Happens to Your Bitmoji After Deletion

Once your Bitmoji account is deleted, your avatar will no longer appear in Snapchat, and any Bitmoji stickers or avatars you shared with others will be removed from their chats. If you use Bitmoji in other apps — such as Gboard, Microsoft Teams, or Slack — those integrations will stop working because they pull your avatar from your Bitmoji account.

You cannot recover your Bitmoji or your customizations after deletion. If you change your mind later, you would need to create a new Bitmoji account from scratch and rebuild your avatar.

If You Want to Keep Snapchat but Delete Only Your Bitmoji

If you use Snapchat but do not want a Bitmoji avatar, you have another option: disconnect Bitmoji from your Snapchat account without deleting your entire Snapchat profile. Log into accounts.snapchat.com, find the connected apps or integrations section, and look for Bitmoji. You should see an option to disconnect or remove it.

This approach removes your Bitmoji from Snapchat and other apps without closing your Snapchat account itself. You can still use Snapchat normally, send messages, and use filters. Your Snapchat username, friends list, and chat history remain intact.

Troubleshooting: What If You Cannot Find the Delete Option

If you log into your Snapchat account and cannot locate the delete option, the settings may have moved or your account type may be different. Try searching the page for the word "delete" using your browser's find function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Command+F on Mac). If you still cannot find it, try logging out and logging back in, as the page sometimes needs to refresh.

If the delete button remains missing, contact Snapchat support through the app or website. Go to the Help section in Snapchat's settings, select "Contact Us", and describe what you are trying to do. Snapchat support can walk you through the deletion process or delete your account on your behalf if there is a technical issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Bitmoji without deleting my Snapchat account?

Yes. Log into accounts.snapchat.com, find the connected apps section, and disconnect Bitmoji. Your Snapchat account stays active. If you want to remove Bitmoji from other apps like Gboard, you may need to disconnect it separately in those apps' settings.

How long does it take for my Bitmoji to be completely deleted?

Your account becomes inaccessible when ready after you confirm deletion, but Snapchat takes a few days to fully remove your data from their servers. During that time, your avatar may still appear in some places, but you cannot log back in or recover it.

Will my friends still see my Bitmoji after I delete it?

No. Once your account is deleted, your Bitmoji avatar will disappear from all chats and conversations. Any stickers or avatars you previously shared will be removed, and your friends will see a blank space or default image instead.

What if I forgot my Snapchat password and cannot log in to delete my Bitmoji?

Go to accounts.snapchat.com and click "Forgot password?" Enter your email address or phone number associated with your account. Snapchat will send you a reset link. Use it to create a new password, then log in and proceed with account deletion.
