Disneyland Resort guests who purchase the Disney Genie+ service finally have access to PhotoPass Lenses almost a year after the feature debuted at Walt Disney World. Genie+ allows guests to use the AR filters with their smartphone camera.
To access the Disney PhotoPass Lenses after you have purchased Disney Genie+, open the hamburger menu on the lower right corner of the Disneyland App. The PhotoPass Lenses will be the top right box.
The first time you use the lenses, you will have to grant the app permission to access your camera, photo library, and location.
You will also have to read and accept to the Disney PhotoPass Terms and Disney’s Terms of Use before you can use the lenses. This includes agreeing to Disney’s Class Action Waiver provision.
Some filters are available to use anywhere, whereas others require guests to be in specific locations. Check out all of the lenses below.
