It’s a Snapchat filter that entirely removes your beard, and it’s the latest TikTok sensation.
If you haven’t tried the “no beard” filter that everyone on TikTok is using, you should — assuming you have a beard, of course. This isn’t going to work for the beardless. TikTok users are uploading videos of themselves showing their significant others their “no beard” look, and the reactions are priceless.
If you haven’t already seen this trend, go to TikTok and look up “no beard filter,” which has over 100 million views. The majority of the videos begin with the person covering their mouth with their hand, then moving it away to reveal the results. Some people have noticed that the filter gives their faces a little more roundness. It’s worth noting that the filter appears to work best on those with shorter beards, so if your beard is several inches long, it’s probable that the hair below your chin will still be visible.
You might be surprised to see what’s on the other side of that filter if you haven’t seen yourself with a clean-shaven look in a long time. It’s worth noting, though, that while the videos are popular on TikTok, they were generated using a Snapchat filter and then uploaded to TikTok. Here’s how to use Snapchat’s #nobeardfilter and get your video seen.
Locating and using the no beard filter on Snapchat
1. Select the Face icon in the Snapchat app on your phone.
