A lot of you have reached out asking for a list of libraries on Snapchat. Due to the fact that you can’t search Snapchat the way you can other social media platforms, this task is a little tough. What I thought I’d do is create a crowdsourced directory. I have started a list of libraries I have found; what I need you to do is to provide the library & username in the comments of any libraries that you know of on Snapchat. I will then add those entries to the list and voila; we have our very own comprehensive Snapchat directory! I look forward to your entries!

Do you know if the geofilters can be forced or if they can only be selected within a certain WiFi area?
Hey McKenzie!
As far as I know you can only select it when you’re in a certain location by swiping right. Here’s a good video on it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nJx6R5zbIfk
