Snapchat with its ever-growing range of filters has launched a new Lens that reacts to sound.  It has en-captured its users by bringing out the famous dog lens which is known as the 'face lens' and puts in animated voices to make us sound cooler.[caption id="attachment_4486851" align="alignleft" width="380"]The logo of messaging app Snapchat is seen at a booth at TechFair LA, a technology job fair, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., January 26, 2017.

Also, earlier in April, Snapchat introduced its 'Lens Studio' software which allowed users to make their own 3D and 2D Augmented Reality (AR) filters.
