Snapchat is still standing tall even after all attempts from Instagram and Facebook to grab users away from the app.

New updates are often sent out for the Android and iOS Snapchat app with improvements and new features or functions to keep users glued to it, which seems to be working.

Speaking of which, the latest Snapchat update brought some new features including the addition of Bitmoji in the notifications.

Therefore, you’ll now see your fellow Scnapchatter’s Bitmoji show up in your notifications when you receive a message from them. This change has left users in two camps. Some love it while others hate it. There’s no in-between.

Those who hate the feature are pretty vocal about it as we’ve come across dozens upon dozens of tweets from disgruntled users asking how to get rid of Bitmoji on Snapchat notifications.
