One of the reasons Snapchat remains a popular social media platform is due to evolving itself and introducing innovative features. From the Snapchat Spotlight section to location hot spots, the platform is surely a fun space to entertain ourselves. One such cool feature is the ability to use your face as a character in creative cameos. If you wish to put cameo stories on Snapchat but do not know what they are and how they work, this guide is here to put all your doubts at bay! Let’s jump right in.
What are Cameo Stories on Snapchat?
Snapchat cameo stories have become the trend of the season for being so fun to use. Cameos are animated films and stickers that display your own or a friend’s selfie. Users can select any whimsical template under the cameo section and take a selfie to add themselves as characters in the filter. You can use this feature as a way to create cool stories with your friends and show off your personality on the platform.
How do Snapchat Cameo Stories Work?
Snapchat Cameo stories work exactly as normal stories. The only difference is that you have used a cameo section and chosen your template before adding a story on the platform.
How to Find Cameo Stories on Snapchat
If you are browsing through cameo templates and see your friends under such filters too, you can wonder how Snapchat finds and chooses who to add in your cameo stories. Well, the app follows an algorithm and selects users who you interact with the most and who are at the top of your best friend list to determine who shows up in your cameo stories.
