Snapchat has introduced localised lenses to mark the onset of spring and harvest season, which also marks the beginning of the New Year in some regional traditions in India.
Snapchat's new festive lenses are available for users based on the region where the festival is taking place.
Users can find these lenses by scrolling through the different lenses at the bottom on the Snapchat app. Depending on which region the festival is celebrated, Snapchat will feature an AR lens. Users can try out these lenses and share them along with the respective festive greetings.
Snapchat app allows users to share photos and videos with friends for a specific time period after which the content gets deleted. It offers filters and lenses, many of which are augmented reality-enabled.
