Reason: This situation can occur when the Bitmoji keyboard doesn’t appear on the text field.

  • The main cause of this app is if you haven’t set the Bitmoji keyboard as the default keyboard in the keyboard settings.
  • It could also be because you have another keyboard or messaging application set as the default.

Solution:

Sometimes a lot of Background apps can cause issues. Hence, close other apps on your iPhone:

  1. Click the ‘Home‘ button twice to go to the app switcher.
  2. Close all other apps by swiping them off the top.
  3. If the application window doesn’t appear anymore that means the application is closed.
  4. Restart the device and try using the Bitmoji option on the keyboard.
