feature yourself in your very own emojis

That's him!
My husband recently made me privy to an app called Bitmoji. It is free and you build yourself as an avatar (which very much intimidated me at first, but it was actually pretty fun), and then it combines the face and body type you customize with different moods, poses, and sayings to create emojis. I am a regular emoji user and this takes communicating with pictures to a whole, new level. At the present moment, my husband is the only one sending me his own emojis and it is a GOOD time. I am REALLY enjoying it, I just wish more people used it. We both decided to opt out of allowing the full keyboard access, even though I visited the Bitmoji website and they promise they never read, transmit, or store anything you type. That all sounds well and good, but the warning I received when I added the keyboard scared me out of thinking it was a good idea. (Read: Third Party Keyboards provide an alternative way to input keyboard data. These keyboards can access all of the data you type, including bank account and credit card number, street addresses, as well as personal and sensitive information.) Um, no. For now, we will continue sending our emojis to one another through the app itself. It is still VERY fun and makes me laugh a lot!
