Snapchat’s butterflies lens adds flying butterflies to your Snaps. If you’d like to use this lens but aren’t sure how to get it, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll show you two easy ways to activate this lens in your account and use it for all your Snaps.

Scan a Snapcode to Unlock the Snapchat Butterflies Lens

The easiest way to access Snapchat’s butterflies lens is by scanning a Snapcode using your Snapchat app. The catch is that you'll need to briefly open this guide on a friend's phone or another device so the code is visible to your phone's camera. Upon scanning the code, your app will redirect you to the lens screen, allowing you to use the lens for your Snaps.

To get the lens that way, first, launch the Snapchat app on your phone. In the app’s top-right corner, tap the camera icon to switch your camera to the rear one. This makes scanning the code easier.

When your rear camera opens, open this guide on another device and point your camera at the following code, letting the app scan the code. This usually only takes a second or two. Then, in your app’s bottom bar, tap "Snapcode Detected."

And your butterflies lens is now activated. You’ll see the lens in action in your app (the multiple butterflies flying around your face). You can now use it to create your favorite content in your app. Enjoy!

Manually Find and Unlock the Butterflies Lens in Snapchat

If you can’t scan the above Snapcode to unlock the butterflies lens, another way to access the lens is by searching for and selecting the lens in your Snapchat app.

To use this manual method, open the Snapchat app on your phone and tap the search icon at the top.

In the "Search" box, type "butterflies lens" and press Enter. You’ll see various lenses in the search results. Here, tap the one you’d like to use.

Snapchat will activate your selected lens, allowing you to create content with it.

And those are two easy ways to get the butterflies lens for making content in your Snapchat app. Enjoy!
