The newest Instagram face filters to be added to the social media app are designed to reflect one's mood, alongside different weather conditions. With these new filters, users on Instagram are able to choose to express themselves with sad rainclouds, angry thunderstorms or either a laid-back or a happy sun. With these filters, users will have the chance to see themselves bathed in rays of sunshine or virtually doused on by droplets of rain.
The all-new face filters may be combined with a series of other special effects from the app and one's creations may be sent to other users on the platform via a private message or added to one's public story.
Inspired by its own vibrant community, Instagram recently unveiled a rainbow face filter, which also takes cues from a phenomenon of the natural world.
