To use custom filters on Snapchat, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Open the Snapchat app on your mobile device and log in to your account.
2. Once you are on the camera screen, tap on the screen as if you were going to apply a regular filter. This will open up the filter menu.
3. Scroll through the available filters until you reach the end. At the end of the filter options, you will see a “+” symbol. Tap on it to access the menu for custom filters and lenses.
4. In the menu that appears, you will be presented with the option to create and purchase your custom filters and lenses. Tap on the desired option to proceed.
5. If you choose to create a custom filter, you will be directed to the Snapchat website or the Lens Studio platform, where you can design your own filter or lens using various creative tools and templates. You can add text, images, graphics, and even interactive elements to make your filter unique.
6. Once you have finished designing your custom filter or lens, you can submit it to Snapchat for review. Snapchat has certain guidelines and policies that you need to follow to ensure your filter is approved. These guidelines include restrictions on logos, trademarks, personal information, and explicit content.
7. After submitting your custom filter, it will go through a review process by Snapchat. This process typically takes a few business days. If your filter is approved, you will receive a confirmation email, and it will become available for use on Snapchat.
8. If you choose to purchase a custom filter or lens, you will be redirected to the Snapchat website or the Lens Studio platform, where you can browse through a variety of pre-made filters and lenses created by other users or brands. You can choose the filter or lens that suits your preference and purchase it for a specific duration or event.
9. Once you have purchased a custom filter or lens, it will be added to your filter options in the Snapchat app. You can access it by tapping on the screen and scrolling through the filters until you find your custom filter or lens.
10. To apply the custom filter or lens to your snaps, simply select it from the filter options and take a photo or record a video as usual. The custom filter or lens will be applied in real-time, and you can see the effects on your snap before sending it.
Using custom filters on Snapchat allows you to personalize your snaps and add a touch of creativity to your content. Whether you choose to create your own filter or purchase one from the marketplace, custom filters can enhance your Snapchat experience and make your snaps stand out.
