Ever since its launch in 2011, Snapchat has had hundreds of filters.
This includes the “Dog”, “Big Mouth”, “Smile”, and other filters.
You can also create your own filter and add it to Snapchat.
Recently, Snapchat released the invisible filter where you’ll be able to turn invisible.
However, if you want to use the filter, you need to manually add it.
This is because you won’t be able to find it directly on the camera on Snapchat.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to get the invisible filter on Snapchat and use it.
