I am sure by now you know what is unique about Snapchat but let me refresh it for you. Snaps and filters are the most intriguing features of Snapchat. Snaps enable you to send multimedia messages to your friends that automatically disappear. Similarly, filters, lenses, stickers, captions, and others amp up your Snaps.
Lenses and filters are defining features of Snapchat. TBH, I started using Snapchat at first only because of its filters.

There is every kind of filter on Snapchat; some make your visuals more voguish, some add fake freckles to your face, and some even put makeup on your bare face.
So, if you are wondering how to give your Snaps a complete makeover via filters, keep reading!

Later, essentially all social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, joined the bandwagon of filters, lenses, and effects.
There is literally every sort of Snapchat filter. You can make your picture look more voguish with a filter and even put cool sunglasses on your eyes to add swag. If you want to know how you look with fringes or short hair, Snapchat has a filter.
Snapchat filters and lenses are fun. They make even the dullest pictures look alive.
