On Tuesday, upstart social networking service Snapchat officially integrated Bitstrips' Bitmoji emoji app into its service.

The integration of Bitmoji emoji app into the Snapchat service comes a few months after Snapchat's reportedly $100 million acquisition of Bitstrips -- the startup behind the Bitmoji app -- in March this year.

With the Bitmoji emoji app - which allows users to create funny emojis that are styled in their own likeness -- having been officially integrated into the Snapchat service, it will now be possible for Snapchat users to send their Bitmoji to one another, both in chat and in snaps.

As a result of Bitmoji integration into the Snapchat service, users will now have the ability to link their Bitmoji account in Snapchat using their credentials. Once that is done, the avatar created by the users will appear in the app ready to use. Users who do not already have Bitmoji can now set a Bitmoji up by logging in with Snapchat.

The addition of the login with Snapchat feature for the Bitmoji emoji app means that the Snapchat service is not yet opening itself up to other developers because it owns the Bitmoji app.
