Whether or not you're still a Snapchat devotee, you know one of the best parts of the app are the geofilters you unlock in different parts of a city. The company upped its game when it released on-demand geofilters, which gave people the option to create customized filters them for weddings, birthdays, and other events. Well, get used to seeing more of those, because now, Snapchat is bringing on-demand geofilters to the app.
The feature, which is live for all iOS and Android Snapchat users, can be found on the settings page. Pick what type of event you want to celebrate — like a birthday or graduation — choose how long you want it to live and around which location, hit submit, and wait for the filter to be approved (which takes up to one business day.) The price of each Snapchat filter starts at $6 and varies depending on how long you want it to be available and the size of the location.
Just like before, the on-demand geofilters will need to adhere Snapchat's geofilter and community guidelines. Accidentally create one or want to change one thing once it's submitted? You can cancel immediately after sending it off for approval — or even while the filter is live. If you need to personalize your geofilter even more, you can still create your own filter on Snapchat's website.
