I can't search my lens on Snap camera!

Others have said it and I'll echo it. I've shared and had people test my lens. Yet I still can't get it to show up in the search results of Snap Camera.

My lens is from properly licensed material (so I know it's not a copyright issue). 

You would think a simple solution would be to enter in a Lens ID and it show up. Please help.

I've searched by lens name, my name, tags but still no luck.

    Hi Yoomee,

    In order for a Lens to appear on Snap Camera, you need it to be a couple of things: live, popular, and adhering to the Lens Studio Submission Guidelines. In general, to add a Lens, I recommend you boost it's popularity by posting it on the forum or other social sites as recommended in this guide. In your case, it looks like your Lens hasn't been shared enough. Shares are the amount of times someone sends a Lens to friends over direct messaging, or by posting it to their story.

    We are looking to fix this issue though so that you can find your Lenses in the future without the popularity factor.

    Hope that helps!

    Cheers,
    Karolina

    Hi Yoomee,

    Good News! You can now unlock a Lens by its Lens Link in the latest version of Snap Camera. This means, you can find your Lens by pasting the Lens link into the search bar in Snap Camera as soon as the Lens is live.

    Download it here!

    Happy creating!
