Snapchat knows that it popular among users during the pandemic and is using it to help donate directly the COVI-19 relief fund.

The app lets users scan a bill using an AR Lense and shows them exactly where the money will be allocated, whether it is to families in need or healthcare workers battling the virus on the frontlines.

The lenses — which are available in 33 different countries — have been launched in partnership with the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the work of the World Health Organization.

Snapchat users can access the new lens via either the lens carousel, by using Scan or via Snapcode — and it works with over 23 different currencies.
