How’d you like to turn yourself into an emoji character? Instead of texting the plain ol’ smiley faces, why not spice it up with a character that looks just like you and can express a wide variety of emotions!
That’s where Bitmoji comes in. It’s this great, fun app that’s bound to give you hours of fun! Let me show you how it works. It’s available on both iOS and Android. First you log in and then the app will walk you through a few simple steps to create your Emoji character. You can choose to make one that looks like you or hey, make one that looks nothing like you! You can always change it later if you don’t like it, but you can only have one active character at a time.
Once you go through the setup and have chosen your hair, eyes, nose and some other details, you also choose whether you want glasses or not, your head gear and what kind of body type you want. Then you pick your outfit. I went for Wonder Woman! Of course.
Now, if I were being picky about this process, I would point out that the build section needs a bit of work. The heavy option isn’t exactly what I’d call “heavy”. It merely looks more average then their Average option. But… It is an emoji character, so….
Anyway, once you decide on your look, you’ll be taken to another screen where you get to choose from TONS of emoji options! Ask someone to dinner. Have some attitude! Send some love. Get festive! And a few others that we really can’t decipher the meaning of.
To show off your newly created emoji masterpiece, either send the emoji directly to the social media app of your choosing. Or… If you’re having a conversation in an app already, change the keyboard and choose the emoji you want. They do have a Chrome extension, too so you can have it everywhere!
I have to admit… I’ve had quite a bit of fun with this one! I hope they add personalized GIF’s soon, too! That’d be awesome!
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
Apple's next cheaper iPhone could get a brand-new processor while keeping its most stubborn display compromise. Digital Chat Station tips the iPhone 18e for a 2027 release with a 2nm A20 chip and a 6.12-inch OLED screen still limited to 60Hz.
The rumored camera setup includes a single 48MP rear camera and a possible 24MP selfie camera. There's new hardware to consider, but buyers hoping Apple would extend that upgrade generosity to smoother scrolling could be disappointed.
Google Photos is introducing a new design for the Collections tab on Android, giving users more control over their albums, folders, and photo categories. The update is all about customization, allowing users to pin collections they access often, hide sections they use rarely, and rearrange the layout to make their photo libraries easier to navigate.
According to a 9To5Google report, the change comes after Google rolled out the redesigned floating navigation bar on Android earlier this year. Rather than inventing a brand new way to store photos, Google is making it easier to get to the content people want, without having to scroll through sections they rarely open.
