Snapchat knows what we like to take pictures of and it so happens that a lot of people like to take photos of their pets. This is why there\u2019s now a lens that can detect your pets in a photo. Right now, it\u2019s limited to just cats and there appear to only be two lenses available at present but you can count on the app adding support for other pets, and eventually Instagram will copy the feature. Here\u2019s how you can use, or more precisely find a Snapchat\u00a0 pet lens.<\/p>\n

The Snapchat pet lens, like most lenses, works with both the front and rear camera. You need to point your camera at your pet (in this case your cat).<\/p>\n

Open Snapchat and tap anywhere on the camera view finder to load the lenses. Look closely for a lens that has a paw print on it. This lens can be used with your pets. The ones that are available at the moment put your cat\u2019s head inside a piece of bread which is an internet joke. If you\u2019re also in the picture, the lens will add bread around your face as well.\u00a0There\u2019s a second lens that puts your cat\u2019s head in a lime which is, again, a meme.<\/p>\n

Good luck trying to get your cat\/kitten to hold still long enough for the app to detect its head and snap a photo.<\/p>\n

You have to give props to Snapchat for, once again, creating a pretty good lens. It\u2019s based on two ridiculously popular memes and people are going to use them. I don\u2019t have a dog to try this on but it\u2019s possible that it may work on a dog as well if the AI isn\u2019t too smart.<\/p>\n

Of course, if Snapchat is relying wholly on meme-worthy lenses, it\u2019s going for lenses that will go viral and in my limited knowledge of memes, I don\u2019t know if anything out there fits dogs. Given that there are two lenses for cats, and zero for dogs, the people at Snapchat have some work to do. Excluding dogs is just awful, and there has to be something that\u2019s popular enough to make into a viral lens for the app. If nothing, the company can crowd source ideas for a dog lens.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s left to be seen is how Instagram will copy this feature. People post lots of photos of their pets on Instagram so it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to train the AI to recognize animals. Let\u2019s see if they go with the meme-lenses or if they skip copying this feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
