One lens, named My Social Distance, encourages users to 'practice social distancing' and creates a circle with AR technology on the ground to help visualize the recommended space by WHO and other health organizations. The other lens comes with reminders about handwashing habits, staying at home, and the importance of not touching your face. Both lenses link to the WHO website to provide additional safety tips.

These new lenses are built on previous updates related to the Coronavirus from the company, seen as new sources of mental health resources and socially friendly Bitmoji.
