Snapchat now lets you add filters to main camera pics

Before, it was the smartphone’s main camera that got all the new features and updates more than the secondary front-facing camera. But with selfie-obsessed people flooding our social media and photo sharing apps, it comes as no surprise that OEMs are putting more attention to the “selfie cam”. Such was the case with Snapchat’s new filters/lenses which was only available to the front cam. But now, your rear camera can join the party as well.

If you haven’t seen the new filters or lenses of your Snapchat, then that means you’ve been away for too long (read, a few days). These lenses don’t necessarily make you look sexier or cuter. In fact, it may be the opposite. But it is fun to actually look weird, creepy, funny, especially if you’re not taking your Snapchatting too seriously (meaning you’re not trying to find a boyfriend or girlfriend there).

Previously, you could only apply these things to your front-facing cam, which can sometimes cause problems, if the filter can’t scale your face properly. But now the the rear camera can also be used to take pictures, whether of yourself or other people, and then apply a barfing rainbow to your tongue or make you look like a vampire, and we don’t mean the sparkly kind.

The update to the Snapchat app should be rolling out to users now. You can check it out on the Google Play Store page and if it’s not there yet, then just be content with using selfies to express yourself.
