How to Get the Bitmoji Keyboard on an iPhone 7

The Bitmoji keyboard for the iPhone is a third-party keyboard that you can download through the App Store. The Bitmoji keyboard can then be integrated into the regular iPhone keyboard, allowing you to send customized avatar images via text or iMessage.

It’s a fun addition to messaging, and has become very popular. But, unlike the default Emoji keyboard, it is not included on the device by default. Our guide below will show you how to download the free Bitmoji keyboard app to your iPhone so that you can start sending Bitmojis to your contacts.
