The best Snap Lenses - Windows Media, Mom Cockroach, MacBook Photobooth, Spider, and five more Lenses are listed in this article. 

One of the most popular social media platforms - Snapchat, launched one of its newer addition to the already existing filters, the Snapchat Lenses.

The Lenses are augmented reality - which stands for an interactive experience of a real-world environment, in which the objects are modified or enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information.

With Snapchat’s newest addition - the Snaplenses, they are able to modify their own appearance or the surroundings. On Snapchat, there currently are two different types of lenses - face lenses, and world lenses.

Snapchat has always been one of the most innovative social media platforms - especially if we take into consideration that Snap was the first platform to implement disappearing messages, as well as the ‘My Story’ feature which allows users to upload photos/videos that will disappear after 24h.

Hence, if you’re wondering how to use the Snapchat Lens, or which are the best Lenses on Snapchat currently, you're in the right place. In the article below, we’ll give you the names of the most popular lenses that are trending on Snapchat in 2022.

Which are the best Snapchat Lenses?

Before we initiate the process of explaining the best Snapchat lenses, you should know that Snapchat filters and lenses have two different types of photo-adjusting features.

The Snapchat Lenses add animations to your selfies since they’re AR enhancements. For example, if you use the Snapchat butterfly lens, it will show adjustments to your face, eyes, and cheeks, with additional butterflies flying around your head.

Luckily, the Butterflies lens is not the only one available, so check out the best trending Snapchat lenses available on the Snapchat app in the list below:
