Here, you can see a bunch of stuff from avatar/ghost (or story if you've posted one during the last 24 hours), search, night mode, camera flash at the top to the Snaps, Snap shutter button, memories, and Stories at the bottom.

After getting to know the home screen, let's get to that beautiful elephant in the post: the filters that make the elephant beautiful! Filters, or Lenses as Snapchat officially calls them, are one the best features of Snapchat - and of its competitive advantages as it shows how strong their AR game is.

To activate the lenses, tap on the screen [somewhere there's no icon] and you can see the lenses appear in a line at the bottom - where the shutter is. Don't forget to try the 'dog face' lens and the 'make me gorgeous' lens!

👻 Remember, the lenses change from time to time. Some might be active for a day, some for a few days, and some are usually there, like the 'dog face' lens. So, make the most of the ones that are available.

👻 Also remember, some lenses are location-based, meaning they're only available at specific locations.

After mastering the lenses, it's time to move to your profile. Tap the ghost or your avatar - or an image representing your latest story - at the top left corner to access your profile. Here, you can find your Bitmoji, Trophies (come back soon - there's gonna be more posts with more answers!), Snapcode, Add Friends, and your Stories - and of course, the app Settings!
