Snapchat: see how to use filters to challenge friends on Lens Challenges | Social networks

Snapchat launched Lens Challenges, a feature that allows you to participate in challenges with friends on the app. The function provides special lenses that require specific user actions, such as dubbing music, simulating effects in which people disappear and filters that create interactive activities. You can create and share challenges with one or more friends to find out who wins the online tournament.

To learn how to access and use the new Snapchat challenge lenses on the iPhone (iOS) and Android phones, follow the tutorial below.
