Just that really. Hate Snapchat filters as it is but drives me mad when I see photos of babies with them on! They are cute enough already!

I'm really judgmental and think anyone over the age of 18 using Snapchat filters on Facebook etc are morans! I also lose respect for them.

Not all babies are cute. They need all the help Snapchat can give.

They annoy me mainly because the adults on my social media who use them in their own pictures do it to look 'cuter' ie big eyes, little nose, smooth skin. Babies are already cute so don't need all that crap.

When your at home with your lo and bored messing round with filters can be entertaining.
And all the people who lose respect through Facebook, it's Facebook most people on there are fake attention seekers anyway.
I'm guessing you all agree that dressing you dc in fancy dress or pretty clothes is stupid to, especially before a child can grasp what they are wearing Hmm

Using a filter to alter the reality of how your baby looks by changing their complexion and the size of their festures etc is in no way comparable to dressing them in cute baby clothes!

I hate them in general! Ridiculous and I don't see the point? I often wonder if someone goes missing they will only have pics of them with dog ears or antlers 😂

A woman i know only posts filtered shots of her baby. It makes me sad, your mum should surely think you are the cutest no matter what.

We have messed around with the funny filters, beards, fake noses and the silly eyebrows are a giggle. Ones which beautify someone make me feel a little ill with a baby, it just looks disturbing. Face swaps on the other hand are hilarious! I don't post them online though.

I know adults who have used snapchat filters for their LinkedIn profile picture 😬 cringe

Absolutely agree, can't stand Snapchat anyway but even more annoying when used on babies.

Can't people just do normal photos anymore or do they have to turn themselves and everyone else into farm animals?

BusterGonad · 16/03/2019 05:20

Ha ha Pinkie I know, morons. Here I am being one with my spelling. Maybe I should start using the snap chat filters to

I don’t see the harm in trying out some of the beard/animal ones, tbh, it’s a bit of amusement. Causes zero harm...

I did the snapchat filter of the flower crown and sparkles on my grumpy, 60 year old boss the other day, was hilarious!

I did notice one of the PAs at work had the flower crown filter as her official work photo on outlook, which I did Hmm at!

I just think it's funny. My toddler loves being made into a dog 🙈

Isn't there a huge difference between using snapchat for fun and having a photo album with these filtered pictures?
