Snapchat’s face-swapping feature continues to cause plenty of excitement – even if the results are a little scary.
The recent update is now available to everyone through the standard Lens menu – just long-press on your face while taking a selfie.
But don’t expect the image to always look exactly how you expected…

Snapchat’s new feature goes further than other face-swapping apps. As with other Lenses, it reacts to any facial movements, meaning the face swap you create instantly becomes more animated – making it that bit more creepy.
