This wikiHow teaches you how to reset your current Bitmoji avatar to create a new one from scratch.

Steps

1
Open the Bitmoji app. It’s the green icon with a white winking chat bubble on the home screen or in the app drawer.
- This method will delete your current Bitmoji so you can create a new one. It’s not possible to have two Bitmoji avatars connected to one account.
- If you’re new to Bitmoji, see How to Use Bitmoji.
2
Tap the gear icon. It’s at the top-left corner of the screen.
3
Tap Reset Avatar. A confirmation message will appear.
4
Tap OK to confirm. You’ll be redirected to the gender selection screen so you can start anew.
5
Select a gender. You won’t be able to change this later without resetting your account.^{[1]

6
Select a Bitmoji style. Choose a Bitmoji or Bitstrips Style avatar. Here’s the difference between the two:
- Bitmoji-style is simpler and more cartoonish.
- Bitstrips-style has more customization options and looks a little bit more realistic.
7
Customize your Bitmoji’s face and hair. As you tap through features, the preview of your avatar will update. Tap the arrow at the top-right corner of the screen to continue through options until you reach the “Save and Pick Outfit” screen.
8
Tap Save and Pick Outfit.
9
Select an outfit. Tapping an outfit will display a preview of your avatar wearing that outfit.
10
Tap the checkmark at the top-right corner of the screen to save your character. Your new Bitmoji is ready to use.

Unfortunately, you cannot make multiple Bitmojis on one account. However, you can make a different Bitmoji for each style (there are 3 styles) so you can have your avatar with one style and you husband's with another.
