Step by Step Tutorial: Enabling Bitmoji Keyboard on an iPhone
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s get a quick understanding of what we’re about to do. Essentially, we’re going to add the Bitmoji keyboard to your list of available keyboards on your iPhone. This will allow you to switch to the Bitmoji keyboard while typing and insert your custom Bitmoji stickers into any text field.
Step 1: Install the Bitmoji app from the App Store
First things first, you need to have the Bitmoji app installed on your iPhone. If you haven’t already, head over to the App Store and download it for free.
Once you’ve got the app installed, make sure to set up your Bitmoji avatar. The fun part is customizing it to look just like you!
Step 2: Open the Settings app on your iPhone
Now that you have Bitmoji ready to go, open up the Settings app on your iPhone. This is where all the magic happens for customizing your device.
Navigate through the Settings menu to find the section where you can manage your keyboards.
Step 3: Tap on ‘General’, then ‘Keyboard’
Once in the Settings app, scroll down and tap on ‘General’. After that, find and tap on ‘Keyboard’. This will take you to the keyboard settings, where you can manage the keyboards you use.
Step 4: Tap on ‘Keyboards’ at the top of the screen
In the Keyboard settings, you’ll see an option labeled ‘Keyboards’ at the top of the screen. Tap on it to view the list of keyboards currently enabled on your iPhone.
Step 5: Tap on ‘Add New Keyboard’
You’ll see a list of all available keyboards. At the bottom of this list, there’s an option to ‘Add New Keyboard’. Tap on it to proceed to the next step.
This is where you’ll find a list of third-party keyboards that you can add to your iPhone, including Bitmoji.
Step 6: Select ‘Bitmoji’ from the list of third-party keyboards

Once selected, Bitmoji will be added to your list of keyboards, and you’ll be able to access it while typing.
Step 7: Allow Full Access to the Bitmoji Keyboard
For the Bitmoji keyboard to work correctly, you’ll need to allow it full access. A prompt may appear asking for this permission, or you can toggle the switch next to Bitmoji in your keyboard list.
Allowing full access lets the keyboard operate fully and sync your custom Bitmoji stickers.
After completing these steps, you’ll be all set to use the Bitmoji keyboard on your iPhone. Just tap the globe icon or the keyboard icon in the bottom-left corner of your keyboard to switch to Bitmoji and start sending your personalized stickers.
