Celebrating a birthday experience is always something special, no matter where you are. After all, birthdays are significant milestones in one’s life, as it marks a year of getting older and hopefully, wiser. A small gesture like receiving a cake or a gift is always nice, and this is why the folks over at Snapchat have decided to provide the birthday boy or girl with something special – and additional lens effect on the day you gained independence from the womb.
Calling it the Birthday Party lens, it will be able to provide a more festive look to your photo, and in order to obtain it, all that you need to do is to ensure that your birthday is included into the app itself. Do bear in mind that Birthday Party will function in a similar manner to other kinds of “lenses”, which is how Snapchat refers to its photo and video effects, and all that you have to do is to tap and hold on your face to enable the feature.
Once done, you can then send over the image with the relevant effects to a friend, or perhaps to post it up. Not only that, Snapchat is another handy app that will inform you should your friend have a birthday, so keep a keen eye out on your friend list! Expect the Snapchat Birthday Lens to be available on the iOS and Android app from today onward. This is certainly a boon, considering how you can already create your own geofilters for a fee.
