Twitter to test new Bitmoji profile image integration

This merge would provide a direct link between Snapchat, where you create your Bitmoji character, and Twitter, in what is thought to be the first time that the two platforms have partnered on a direct integration.
Despite Twitter lacking its own avatar creator, the possibility of integrating Bitmoji suggests that it won’t be adding this, instead drawing on Snapchat’s character creator to allow users to express themselves on their platform.
