hey everyone its Adrienne and welcome back to my channel today's video is very
exciting because I actually have a different video planned for today I was
going to do five ways to slay your Instagram feed which I'm still going to
do probably this coming week but when I woke up this morning I found out about
something that I did not know existed and I figured I needed to come on right
away and make a video for you guys showing you how exactly to do this now
what is it you're talking about Adrienne well let me tell you it is one of
snapchats most hidden new features it only came out I think about a week ago
and some of you may know what it is some of you may not know what it is so if you
want to find out just keep on watching if you guys are new here be sure to
subscribe and give it a thumbs up for more videos like this and feel free as
always to leave me a comment below letting me know what kind of videos you
guys want to see I know you guys love iPhone and snapchat and Instagram and
light packs stuff like that so let me know without further ado let's get into
the video so I just put my phone on do not disturb mode because can't have text
interrupting this and I've already leaked my number twice on videos so I'm
not going to have that happen again so do not disturb where is that so if you
guys have been watching my snapchat hacks videos for a while you would know
that one of the hacks I've talked about previously is making your own custom
geofilter now this has been in existence for a little while but you used to have
to use a third-party website you have to go on your computer and make it on
Photoshop and it was a very complicated process to create your own geofilter so
now I'm going to talk to you guys about how snapchat made it super super easy to
make your own customized geofilter right from the app now I have never tried this
before so today we are actually going to try making our own geofilter and
actually applying it I'm not sure how long it takes for the filter to get come
into effect I don't know if it can be immediately or if they have to approve
it but either way we are going to test it out today we're going to make some
cool customized geofilters I'm going to show you guys exactly how to do it so
the first step is obviously opening snapchat now huh what's up guys okay so
the first thing that you're supposed to do is click on your little bit moji in
the upper left hand corner just did that and then after that you're supposed to
click on the gear button in the upper right
corner now as you can see by this screen there is a button that says on-demand
geofilters so this is where you are now going to click before it wasn't
available here you had to go online we're going to try this for the very
first time on my youtube channel and ever for me let's do it
all right on-demand geofilters purchase your own geofilter geo silver for a
birthday wedding or any celebration okay click continue Wow okay so it's asking
me what's the occasion graduation summer vibes wedding
Bachelorette birthday baby shower celebration love okay so that's cool
they already give you all these built-in options I'm thinking of doing a funny
one I mean my boyfriend's bedroom right now and I think it'd be really funny to
surprise him and make a geo Hildur that's something really stupid like I
love my girlfriend and just like have him find out that it's there I'm lazy
but just to just to kind of look around I'm gonna look at the summer vice ones
right now because I'm feeling very summery it is for once in my life warm
weather in Seattle is unreal so I'm going to click on summer vibe alright so
like the design and customize your geo filter with text and stickers that is
cool let's click continue' hole alright so as you can see there are a lot of
options for kind of backgrounds I'll say the only thing I don't love about this
is that yes it's customizable with your text but other than that snapchat made
them so it does eliminate the cool element of like actually designing your
literal own geofilter because if you think about other people are going to
need background still I think it's really cool that they let you do this
I'm going to go ahead and choose this pink one okay so when I click on it I'm
assuming they're giving me an example of what it could look like because I don't
think this is what it's going to have I think I can customize this so I'm just
going to push check tell us about your geofilter geofilter name I love summer
filter tight personal I don't know what that means that I'm gonna push continue
okay so here I can customize when I want my view filter just start and when I
want to end and from what I believe I think that the longer time you want it
on the more expensive it is I do not know the prices we're going to find out
what those are but I'm going to go ahead and
today at 6 p.m. okay so the time stamp on my phone is incorrect it's actually
343 p.m. right now and the earliest I can have this start it's 6 o'clock p.m.
so it looks like it takes about 2 to 3 hours for it to get approved so I'm
going to go ahead and push today at 6 p.m. and have it and today at 7 p.m. I'm
just going to do one hour to test it out see how much that cost I'm gonna go
ahead and push continue draw a geofence where you'd like your geofilter to be
available okay so for now I'm going to make the geofence
just around my boyfriend's literal apartment because I don't want everyone
to see my location so I don't really want to zoom out to show the streets and
be because I want to be able to test it here so for now we're just going to do
it just around at my boyfriend's apartment so it looks like my geofilter
will cost $5.99 for one hour just around this small location so that's not a bad
price we're having to customize filter but it's obviously not something you're
going to want to do all the time because it's still six dollars and if you want
it to be a bigger radius probably an approximant
so let's go ahead and push continue alright now it is showing the name of it
start time the end time the filter type and my email address and the total cost
so if you push submit it says submit for review if your geo filters are proof
will notify you to confirm your purchase so it looks like they do review them I'm
not sure what the criteria is I'm sure it just has to be appropriate maybe no
swear words things like that not sure I can look that up I'm going to go ahead
and cancel this one just because I think I realized how to customize the text and
I think I missed that part of it so I'm actually going to start over and try
another one so I'm gonna push cancel this time I'm going to choose love and
these ones are really cute I think I'm going to choose the hard one okay so
this is a page where I believe you can customize your stickers in your text so
I'm going to go ahead and push the text button and I'm going to write I love my
girlfriend's then I'm going to make it big I'm going
to put it right there or should I put it like that yeah I'm gonna do it like that
and then I am also going to add a sticker let's add me with hearts on my
head so that if my boyfriend uses this filter it'll be like I love my
girlfriend and there's a little picture of my bitmoji which looks interesting
right now but we're going to do that one okay I'm gonna go ahead and push the
check I'm going to name it I love my girlfriend which continue I'm going to
have it start at 6:00 p.m. and I'm going to have it end tomorrow at midnight
tonight at midnight continue going to cost $5.99 great continue total cost
okay submit and here I'm actually going to submit this one for review submitting
or for review ok so then it looks like it just says under review and then just
got an email saying that I did it okay sweet if I click on it it looks like
again it shows me calm the details I can also cancel it if I made a mistake and I
want to do it anymore looks good looks good and now I'm going
to go back to the page that I figure I'll just show you guys what all the
different options for backgrounds are in all of these different categories you
can obviously go on yourself and look at them but why not already here let's do
it so we have graduation and this is what these ones look like well these
ones are so cute actually like you could totally customize these and just put
your name on it love that we got summer vibes which we
already looked at I got wedding oh these are gorgeous I'm totally doing this next
time one of my friends get married get married oh that's so cute oh I kind of
like how they gives you an example but I also kind of wish they didn't so I could
see the full picture of it then we have bachelor or bachelorette team bride
super cute birthdays it's lit I love that one okay
there are tons of birthday options very cute baby shower
nice celebration okay so the celebration looks like it's a little bit more
generic squad love that one and love which we already looked at so
overall this is super awesome that snapchat changed this and is allowing
you to make your own geofilter right from the app it's very user friendly I
would say that the only cons I have are a it is not as customizable as you could
tell there weren't very many options for things you can do you really can only
change the text add stickers but other than that you have to choose one of
their backgrounds and there just isn't a whole lot you could do before when you
could do it on the website you could make on Photoshop anything you wanted
you could put pictures of people or whatever you wanted so I feel like it
lost a little bit of kind of the specialness of it because now it's very
easy for anyone to make one which of course is the point and snapchat is of
course going to make more money because a lot more people are going to utilize
this feature so very smart on snapchat side of things but yeah I guess I wish
it was a little more customizable and other than that I kind of wish there was
a category that was a little more generic I'm thinking that their
celebration category is more the generic could be for anything type of situation
but if you think about it there wasn't really just like a plain
one where you can really customize them so they're all kind of four very
specific types of events I totally get why they did that but yeah that would be
something I would maybe add on to that and this is obviously the first round of
snapchat doing this you know as the app updates and updates I'm sure this is
going to change I'm sure they're going to add more features maybe the prices
will change depending on how many people are using them etc so so overall I
really love it I'm going to go ahead and step away and come back at 6 p.m. when
the filters on and show you guys and what that looks like all right you guys
I'm actually back a lot sooner than I expected it is 402 p.m. so that was a
total of like 10 minutes and I actually got an email notification that my a
filter was approved so it took a lot shorter of a time than I thought I guess
they leave some extra cushion time just in case so I actually got an email
saying that I was approved and that I need to confirm my payment by going into
snapchat so just so that you guys can see this is the email that I received
that how do I confirm payment for an man geofilter and give you the
instructions so we are just going to go ahead and do that
so I'm going to open snapchat back up and it looks like what I do is again tap
on my bitmoji go to these settings and when I click on the man geofilters there
we go so it says I love my girlfriend so what I made that approved cap to confirm
purchase so that was so easy you guys it took like no time at all I'm going to
click approve confirm purchase you will be charged $5.99 for I love my
girlfriend by tapping ok you agree I'm gonna click okay I was about to say I
wonder how you pay for it so it looks like it since it's through an app it is
through the iTunes Store that's nice and convenient you don't have to enter any
separate payment info or anything which is super nice so I'm just going to go
ahead and use my touch ID and I said you're all set your purchase was
successful so let's now test out no custom
geofilter I'm actually like so excited and I'm still gonna surprise my
boyfriend later but let's test it out you guys alright so here I am taking a
snap I'm gonna take a video Here I am filming my video and it's all about
something really cool custom snapchat filters it looks like the filter is not
on yet so I guess even though they confirmed my
purchase and approved it it still looks like it's not going to be live until 6
p.m. so that kind of sucks only because I wanted to have it earlier but that is
also good to know it wouldn't let me set the time any earlier though so so note
to self if you have an event make sure that you make the Geo filter at least 2
to 3 hours beforehand so I'm going to go ahead and wait until 6 p.m. now and I
will actually be back soon alright you guys I am back it's now 6
p.m. and I'm about to try be custom geo filter for the first time haven't tried
yet hoping it showed up because before didn't and that's why I'm assuming I
just had to wait so let's find out Here I am on snapchat it's going to take cute
pics
okay and let's slide over I don't know why I feel so cool Babbitt oh my god oh
so funky so there's the snapchat geofilter I made so I mean it's pretty
generic it's not like I put my name or anything on it could have been maybe
cooler if I did but there it is I just I don't know why I'm excited it's almost
like I figured it wouldn't work and then it did work so I'm pumped I'm like yeah
I don't know I guess that's that so alright we tested it it worked I'm so
glad I got to bring you guys along and try it for the first time with you I
really hope you guys enjoyed this type of video you guys should let me know
down below if you did and whether or not you think you'll be using this in the
future yeah just give me your feedback I'd love to know your thoughts and thank
