By Khier Casino
The world is a giant melting pot of people and now so is your timeline thanks to the viral Snapchat swapping app that allows users to change their appearance by airbrushing images to look like the opposite gender.
The app’s augmented reality (AR) lenses include facial features that are typically male or female.
The male filter adds some scruff, bushier eyebrows, a broader jawline while trying to hide lengthy hair. The female filter features fair skin, longer eyelashes and hair, and makeup such as lipstick and blush.
