Snapchat is now more of a camera lens app than a messaging app since most of us use it mainly for its funny new filters and lenses. The Snapchat lenses option, for the uninitiated, can transform your face or the world around you using special effects. The latest Snapchat lens that’s grabbing everyone’s attention is the new butterfly lens. If you had seen anyone trying this filter and have thought about how to try the butterfly lens on Snapchat, then, I have mentioned five different ways with which you can get the Snapchat butterfly to fly around your snaps.

The filter is free to use, just like other filters available on Snapchat.
