I tried Snapchat's trippy new selfie filters and found some other big changes

On Tuesday, Snapchat introduced "Lenses," which are essentially fancy animations you can put on your selfies in the app.

Snapchat addicts can also pay $0.99 to unlock three snap replays — a way to turn back time and see a juicy photo or video that would have otherwise been gone forever.

The coolest part of this latest Snapchat update are the the seven selfie lenses you can use. I tried them all, and found a few other big changes in the Snapchat app along the way.

The way you enable Snapchat's lenses is a little tricky. When your phone's selfie camera is enabled, just tap and hold on your face.

You'll know it's working when a skeletal scan of your face appears on the screen. A slideable row of Lenses will appear to the right of the button you press to record a selfie.

It can be difficult to make the lenses interface appear, so don't get disgruntled if it takes a few presses of the screen to make it work.

The first lens gives you lovey-dovey eyes. Perfect for when you're snapping with bae.

Here's a video of what all the new Lenses look like:

Lenses aren't the only new part of Snapchat. The ability to see the length of a snap story in seconds has been removed.
