People have reacted positively on the idea of launching Bitmoji. They are calling the app integration of Snapchat and Bitstrips as a match made in heaven. They are all excited for the moment and it is a win-win situation for both the companies now.

Snapchat is currently catering to 10 million registered users worldwide. After the formal announcement of the app integration Snapchat has seen a rise in the curve of fresh acquired registrations from new registered users. Bitstrips was acquired for 100 million dollars by Snapchat. The company was earlier skeptical about the deal however now the deal looks like a steal deal.
