You Can Now Create Your Own Augmented Reality Filters on Instagram
Instagram Stories filters are now a huge part of the user experience on the social media platform. You will now be able to take your Instagram stories to the next level of engagement with the social media app now allowing users to create their own augmented reality filters.
The new AR feature will make use of Facebook’s Spark AR Studios public beta to allow virtually anyone to create and publish their own augmented reality effects on Instagram. Previously, the Spark AR Studios was only available to Facebook users but it is now open to everyone.
