Snapchat baby filter is one of the new filters in the Snapchat app. Instead of adding a beard or changing the gender, it turns you into a baby. As much as it can. The filter changes the mature features of your face and instead makes your face baby like. Think chubby cheeks, bigger eyes, and general roundness and cuteness. You are going to look adorable in this filter.
