Teens are using the new 'old person lens' on Snapchat to prank their parents
Snapchat came out with a new update Tuesday that lets you add "lenses" to your photos - there's a "Terminator" lens and a rainbow river lens (people seemed really taken with that one).
There's also an old person lens that lets you age your face about sixty years. That's the one teens seem to be having the most fun with, thanks to their clueless parents.
Sent my mom a snapchat with the old person filter on and she asked if I fell asleep on a blanket ??

I was first alerted to this by my sister (a teen), who told me a ton of her friends were using that lens to take photos of themselves, save them to their camera rolls, and then send them to their unsuspecting mothers.
I sent my mom a picture with the old people filter on snapchat & she really thought something happened to me ??????

Here's another. This girl, Madison, told her mom she woke up with a "weird allergic reaction."

This mom seemed to have a meltdown:

And some users didn't get the reactions they were hoping for:
i did that old lady filter on my mom on snapchat and she didn't even notice there was a filter :-(

Snapchat also rolled out a pay-to-save option on Tuesday that lets you pay a dollar to look at people's old Snaps.
