Note that you can also use Snapchat lenses on rear facing camera. Since people like to decorate their own faces, selfie camera is more acceptable among young users.

Step #4: Once you are on selfie camera, tap and hold on your face for a few seconds.

Step #5: A white mesh (in crisscross pattern) appears for a short while and you can see a number of lenses in a row that goes from right to left. This white mesh will quickly map your face and then place the lenses on your face to create funny face effects.

During this process, Snapchat will give you directions on using those lenses. For example, in some lenses, you can stick out your tongue to create funny effects; in others, you will be asked to raise your eyebrows.

Snapchat also offers you lenses to change your voice and create some funny images. The last one is awesome; you can swap your face with any other existing photo or image in your Camera Roll.

Note that Snapchat lenses are free; but the app will keep rotating the selection. Once you capture an image, you can share it with other Snapchat users in your contacts. If you want to shoot a video, simply tap and hold that circular shutter button.
