FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only to download the app and the AI models. After that, planning, editing and exporting all work offline.
Can I write prompts in Arabic?
Yes. The planner understands Arabic and English, and the whole interface is available in both, with proper right-to-left layout.
Do I still need Lens Studio?
Yes. Viral Studio exports an editable Lens Studio project. You open it in Lens Studio to test on your phone and submit it to Snapchat.
Will my lens be approved or earn money?
We can't promise that. Approval, publication and creator rewards are decided by Snapchat under its own policies. Viral Studio helps you build a lens that's ready to submit.
Is Viral Studio made by Snap?
No. Viral Studio is independent software from the Viral Lenz family and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Snap Inc.
