If you’ve just updated Snapchat, you’ve probably noticed that instead of the 10 or 12 face-changing filters (also known as lenses) that were previously accessible, there’s now only one.
Does Snapchat Only Allow One Filter Per Day Now?
While some have spread the myth that Snapchat’s new upgrade will limit users to only one filter each day, this is not the case. If you go to Snapchat’s official support account on Twitter, you’ll notice an announcement explaining what’s going on with the Snapchat filters and lenses. According to the post, the issue with only one filter being accessible is just a bug that appeared with the new update, and the Snapchat team is working hard to find a solution.
If you’ve heard that Snapchat only offers one filter currently, you’re mistaken. We’re confident that once the issue has been resolved, Snapchat will release another update to address the issue.

You can still watch numerous stories back-to-back, but you can now choose which stories you want to watch and in what sequence you want to watch them. Here’s how you choose and arrange stories for auto-play:
