Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two days, frequent Snapchat users have noticed rainbows spilling out of their "best friend's" mouths or demon monsters possessing their top Snappers. Tuesday, September 15th, Snapchat updated their platform with a new feature! Lenses generates even more excitement to Snaps by adding real-time special effects and animations.

Still not sure how to access these new features.. Not to worry! Modern Driven Media has been having way too much fun learning!

While this feature is very advanced, Lenses is easy to use! Here are a few simple steps to follow:

  1. Open up your camera as if you were taking an average Snapchat
  2. Make sure the camera is in "Selfie" mode
  3. Hold your finger down on your face until Snapchat defines all face features
  4. Lenses will appear at the bottom of your screen
  5. Swipe left until you reach the Lense you wish to Snap
  6. Follow the instructions that follow. (Ex. Raise your eyebrows/Open your mouth)
  7. Hold the capture button and share the excitement with your "best friends"

Now, carry on our Snapchat friends! May your Snaps be filled with rainbows and high tech gadgets.
