Today we’re introducing the fifth generation of Spectacles, our new see-through, standalone AR glasses that enable you to use Lenses and experience the world together with friends, in totally new ways.

Today, we’re announcing a new slate of AI-powered features that make Lens Studio an even more versatile and accessible platform.

Our partners continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with augmented reality, bringing to life the things you care about - from art and science, to sports and music, beauty and shopping, and everything in between.

We’re continuing to make it even easier for creators to facilitate relationships with friends and fans, create Snaps, and get rewarded while being themselves.

Today we’re introducing new AI-enabled features to spark conversations, make great Snaps, and discover new things.

We’re now testing a new and simplified Snapchat that organizes the app around communicating with friends, using the camera, and watching Snaps from friends and the broader Snapchat community, including creators and publishers.

On average more than 1.5 million people in New Zealand use Snapchat each month.

New independent research from The Netherlands and Australia validates how we have designed Snapchat from the beginning – as an alternative to social media, where our community can connect with friends and family.
