Use Snapchat geofilter or create it yourself - how it works

If you want to show your friends where you are on Snapchat in a simple way, the geofilter will help you. We'll tell you everything you need to know about the new Snapchat function.

Use geofilter in Snapchat

• Take a photo with the Snapchat app and swipe left to right. The first geo-filter is now placed over your image. Swipe right to find more geo filters.
• As a rule, the name of the city with an individual design appears as a filter. The geo-filters are often provided with the respective sights of the city.
• If the geo filter cannot be shown, tap the Snapchat icon at the top of the app and select the settings there. You can activate the filters under the "Manage" or "Set" category.

Create geofilter for Snapchat yourself

• If you find the existing geofilters boring, you can get to work yourself. Snapchat enables its users to create free community geofilters or paid on-demand geofilters.
• A community geofilter can be created for cities and public places like a university. If Snapchat finds your design good, the geofilter is made available to all users in the corresponding region. Appropriate artistic skills and software must be available.
• Companies and individuals can also set an on-demand geofilter for a few euros in Snapchat. The individual geofilter is then available for a certain time at a location you have specified (see picture).
