Snapchat has updated to allow people to use its lenses with the back camera.

Lenses are the small, smart filters that can scan a person’s face and put images on top of them. That means that people can send videos of themselves with a ski mask imposed on their face, for instance.

Previously the filters had only been available on the selfie mode, which meant that they could only really be used on yourself. But the app will now let users put the filters on videos that are taken with the rear-facing camera.

The new feature is available through an update to that app, which can be found in the relevant app store. AP
