Ever since Facebook launched Spark AR, a tool that lets you create augmented reality effects, people have been creating customized Instagram Stories filters.
It’s pretty easy to find new filters for Instagram Stories. Just open your Instagram app, press the camera icon on the upper left side, and swipe left on your Stories filters tab until you find the browse icon.
Once you click the search icon, you’ll be taken to the Effect Gallery where you can find the most popular filters. You can also scan through specific categories like Selfie and Surroundings.
But if you don’t have time to scroll through hundreds of filters to find the perfect one, we made a quick list of accounts you can check out.
