What is a Geofilter on Snapchat?

Snapchat has plenty of location filters. For instance, if you are in Nevada, you can search for a filter that is specific to Nevada. It could be a landmark or building. That way, when you share a picture and add such a filter, it’s an indirect way of telling your audience where you are. These location-specific filters are what geofilters are. Geofilters are mainly added when creating Snapchat stories, and Snapchat will use your phone’s location to display the filters available to your location. If there are no filters for your current location, you can instead create your own geofilter.
