AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Snap Camera is available. Download the latest version directly from Snap's official download page at snapcamera.snapchat.com — the installer automatically serves the universal binary on M-series Macs, so the standard download is all you need. If you have an older Intel-only copy, simply running the new installer will replace it with the native version. After installation, your existing lens library and settings will remain intact. The native build will provide noticeably better performance and significantly lower CPU usage and battery drain compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta.
