The new update will be available globally to iOS and Android users starting Thursday. Facebook and Apple can create fun augmented reality masks like Snapchat did, but neither company has a database of user avatars to dig into. Read on for more about Snapchat's new Avatar lens and how you can use it. But, unlike previous AR filters, Avatar completely changes everything from your face to your clothes. Others like Facebook and Instagram have started to roll out their own versions of Snapchat’s face-distorting masks, and Apple on Tuesday announced that the new iPhone will offer augmented reality technology, too.īut Snapchat has a slight advantage in the form of Bitmoji, which it bought for $64 million almost 18 months ago. Snapchat's new 'Avatar' lens is the latest filter that relies on augmented reality (AR) technology. Snap was one of the first major consumer apps to launch augmented reality features, but the technology has grown in popularity. Congratulations The world is now your Bitmojis oyster. So instead of using Snapchat to film a hotdog dancing on your kitchen table, you’ll soon be able to film a cartoon version of yourself dancing on your kitchen table. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Bitmoji > Bitmoji > Enable Full Access > Allow.
Starting Thursday, users will be able to superimpose their Bitmoji avatar into whatever environment they are looking at through the app’s camera.
