These are the man filters

Surely this weekend you have had more than one laugh with photos of friends and family on social networks or WhatsApp. And not because they do funny things, but because they have shown a very different side of their faces. The new Snapchat filters have arrived to conquer users all over the world again. And they do it by transsexualizing the user or returning them to childhood Something that influencers like Rubentonces have echoed, or even celebrities like Thalía herself.Do you know what filters we are talking about?

In Snapchat they are willing to win back their audience, and all those users who want to try the fun of their application. For this they have redone it from top to bottom, launching this new version just a few weeks ago. Games, new filters, a more comfortable design and above all a more fluid functioning make this tool more attractive. Among the new content, several filters or masks have begun to stand out. Its operation is similar to what has been seen to date. The difference is the results, which are causing a sensation among users. And it is that, with them, we can become a woman, a man or even a baby. And the results are surprisingly realistic.

How to get these filters

Just make sure you have the latest version of Snapchat on your Android or iPhone. To do this we will go through the Google Play Store, if we have an Android mobile, or through the App Store if we have an iOS device, to check if there is any new version or update availableWe download it and open the application as usual.

Now we frame a face, it can be ours through the selfie camera, or someone else's with the rear camera. The arrows symbol in the upper right corner allows you to toggle between cameras.

Then click on the smiley face icon next to the fire button. This is where the Snapchat skins, filters, and new augmented reality games are. Then look for skins that show a face with a beard (male filter), a woman's face with eyelashes and lipstick (female), or the face of a a baby.

Depending on the technical capabilities of your mobile, you may have one or another experience on Snapchat. So iPhone and Android users with more powerful processors can overlay these masks in real time on their own face Something that allows them to take a snapshot with a tap short release of the shutter button, or even be recorded on video by long-pressing for up to 15 seconds. The result is realistic if we have good lighting and a clear face. If we like what we see (or are surprised to say the least), we can choose which Snapchat contacts to send it to. Or, if we prefer, attach it as a snap to our story of the day to make it more public.

However, some Android mobile users with less capabilities will only see a kind of guide to know how to position their face.After clicking on the camera button, only takes a snapshot and applies the mask afterwards, without the possibility of recording video. The problem is that, as we have been able to verify, it is not possible to share the result on a regular basis. Just taking a screenshot of that moment.

The filters that succeed on Instagram

Most likely, you've seen a good amount of stories on Instagram with these filters. And this is because users download the results of these masks and share them on other social networks, where they will surely have more visibility and impact.

If you want to do the same, you just have to take the screenshot on Snapchat and click on the option download Thus we will have a copy in phone gallery.Then we just have to go to Instagram Stories and slide your finger from the bottom up to open this gallery. In WhatsApp, it would be enough to click on the clip icon and select gallery. Here we would search the recent contents to find the resulting photo or video.
