Snapchat can now detect your cat’s face and apply
lenses to it. -
Previously, the app could generally only detect human
faces for its selfie lenses — but it would occasionally work
with animals. -
For now, Snapchat is specifically focusing on cat
lenses, and not other pets.
If you’ve painstakingly tried to get Snapchat filters to apply to
your cat without luck, your time has come.
Snapchat just announced the introduction of cat lenses, meaning
the app is now able to reliably detect cats’ faces. Previously,
the lenses were only meant for human faces, but you could get it
to work on your pets if you were lucky.
For some reason, Snapchat has chosen to focus specifically on
cats, and not other animals.
In a tweet announcing the new feature, Snapchat showed off a few
of the filters in action — including a cat with bats flying
around its face, and a few cat owners taking selfies with their
grumpy-looking, glasses-wearing cats.
Business Insider does not have a cat on hand, and was unable to
test the new feature, but we’ll report back when we do.
