Moral of the story: technology and social media platforms are incredible, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a millennial. Do kids even play with real Barbies anymore? Or are they too busy playing on their iPads? I mean, I grew up playing make believe with my Barbie dolls. And, yes, I can remember a time before social media and cell phones were something everyone had. Yes, I might be a little “socially awkward,” but I can promise you that I have been that way for as long as I can remember. No, that doesn’t make me an expert in every app, device, or software, as my grandpa thinks I am. Now, before I begin to tell you about how amazing social media is (particularly Snapchat), let’s just clear one thing up. It can also make hilarious mistakes and recognise everyday objects or photos as people.As a millennial, I constantly hear how technology has ruined how people my age interact with one another. In low light or from odd angles, it may take Snapchat a while to recognize you as a person. Assuming it detects your face, Snapchat will bring up the Lenses for you to choose from. Snapchat will apply its face-detection algorithms. Many of the lenses require a face in the photo, so it’s simplest to use the front-facing camera.īefore you take a Snap, tap on your face. To apply a Lens to your image, open Snapchat. While almost everything else in Snapchat’s interface is handled by buttons, there isn’t one for Lenses. RELATED: How to Use Snapchat: The Basics of Sending Snaps and Messagesĭespite being one of the best things about Snapchat, Lenses are hidden behind a touch gesture. Theme lenses are often added for special events and companies can pay Snapchat to have a lens included to promote their product. New Lenses are constantly being added and old ones removed and then brought back. Some lenses exaggerate the size of your nose while others turn you into different animals.Īt any one time, there are between about ten and fifteen different lenses available in Snapchat. They generally shift, change, or add something to your face. Each Lens has a different effect that’s automatically applied in real time to your photos.
