How To Use Snapchat’s New Cartoon & Avatar Lenses

Snapchat just released a new Avatar lens that shows you what you look like in the Metaverse. The lens makes people look like characters from a game like Sims or a Pixar movie. This is similar to Snapchat’s cartoon face trend that you might have seen on social media.

It’s a trend where people make themselves look like animated characters going viral over the past year. This trend is not just limited to Snapchat, as TikTok has also been getting in on the action.

Snapchat’s Disney Face Trends

The trend started when Snapchat released the Cartoon Face lens back in August 2020. Users immediately jumped on this trend when they realized they could make themselves and others look like Disney characters. This led to the tag #cartoonface getting viral on TikTok as users started to use the filter on their pets and themselves.

In December 2020, Snapchat released the Cartoon lens, which was more realistic than its predecessor. The company capitalized on the Disney trend and released the Cartoon Style 3D lens. This made people look much more similar to Disney characters than the previous lenses. In its first week after its release, the lens had 2.8 billion impressions.
