One of Snapchat's main attractions is its filters (also called augmented reality lenses), which apply live effects on your face that you can see in photos and videos. These filters change to give users more options, but this might have caused you to lose one of your favorite filters. Luckily, recovering your favorite Snapchat filters is very easy, just follow the guide we have prepared in this article.
Why Snapchat's filters disappear
Usually, every time you open the Snapchat app, different filters appear in the camera gallery. This happens because there are countless lenses and the interface changes them so that we can discover new options, including the best Snapchat filters.
It is also possible that the developers have deleted certain filters. After all, the lenses available are constantly updated to include new options to keep the user experience fresh. In any case, you can use the lens browser whenever you want to see if the filter is no longer available or if there are similar alternatives.
