There is a slight difference between Lenses and filters. If we classify them according to Snapchat, lenses are anything that moves and filters are the location-based geotags.
There are several Filters available. One of them is Facial filters, which is a form of virtual-reality that recognizes face and creates a digital animation of your face. Another one is Geo-location filters. Geo-location filters recognize the location of the user and provide animations related to it.
How to use Snapchat filters?
Let us discuss how to use Snapchat filters based on their type:
Facial filters
You can access facial filters from either side of the camera. It is assumed that there is a face to be recognized. Snapchat opens to its default setting which is set at the back-facing camera. To take a selfie, you have to double tap the screen and your front camera will be switched on.
Once the camera faces to the required direction, facial filter options are required now. To do this, position the camera onto your face. Using your finger, press and hold the part of the screen. The facial filter feature will get activated and you will find a horizontal menu at the bottom.
Snapchat Geofilters
You can geofilters and facial filters simultaneously. Geofilters are different than facial filters. They are graphic add-ons specific to the user’s location. You can include Geofilters in any image or video once the snap has been taken.
You can add geofilters in a number of ways. You can swipe the screen to left or right to apply filter after taking a picture or video. In geofilters you have to first take the picture or video and then you can apply filters as it will appear afterwards.
