Change.org Sees Surge in Petitions Demanding Expanded bitmoji Customization & Inclusivity
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – A growing wave of petitions on Change.org is pressuring Snapchat’s parent company, Snap Inc., to address user demands for greater diversity, representation, and customization options within its popular Bitmoji avatars. The petitions, accumulating thousands of signatures, highlight concerns ranging from limited skin tone choices and hairstyles to a lack of accessibility features and culturally relevant clothing.
Users are increasingly vocal about wanting bitmoji to better reflect the diverse global community it serves. While Snap introduced expanded customization options in recent years, petitioners argue these changes haven’t gone far enough, leaving many feeling excluded or misrepresented. The petitions collectively demonstrate a significant desire for more granular control over avatar appearance, including options for disabilities, religious attire, and body types. Several campaigns specifically call for the addition of features to represent specific cultural identities and traditions currently absent from the platform.

Another petition focuses on [insert another specific request if available, otherwise omit]. These campaigns illustrate a broad spectrum of user concerns, united by a common goal: a more inclusive and personalized Bitmoji experience.
Snap Inc. has not yet publicly responded to the petitions,but the growing momentum suggests the issue is gaining traction within the user base. The petitions’ success will likely hinge on continued community engagement and whether Snap chooses to address the concerns raised by its users. Change.org data indicates that petitions with significant public support can influence corporate policy and drive real-world change, making these campaigns a potential catalyst for evolution within the Bitmoji platform.
