Snapchat’s latest AR filter ‘Time Machine’ lets you age and de-age with a slider

Snapchat has introduced a new AR filter that could likely go viral. It lets you transform your appearance from a baby to an old person by using a slider. The app witnessed a surge in users playing around with the baby lens that was released in May this year.

Followed by that, it had released a gender swap filter as well that went viral. Now, the latest one is aging the appearance. And it will probably get more users onboard the platform. Snapchat released a short video of how the feature works. However, the slider is only present on iOS and not on Android. On the latter, you can only take pictures of five different levels of age groups starting from a baby to an old person.

The ‘Time Machine’ feature will be available worldwide starting from today. It can be found in the AR filter section that appears at the bottom inside Snapchat. As a new filter, it should be the first filter itself.
