Instagram Gets Emoji Hashtags And 3 New Filters For Android And iOS Users

Instagram's latest update has added three new filters inspired by weekend adventures - Lark, Reyes and Juno - as well as the ability to include emojis in your hashtags.

Lark de-saturates reds and brightens up landscape images while Reyes adds a vintage feel to your photos. Juno is the best one of the new filters to use on pictures of people as it will cool greens and make light colors glow.

With the new emoji support, you will be able to hashtag emojis and search them as you would any regular hashtag.

The new Instagram update also allows you to use emojis as hashtags for the first time, giving people the ability to create hashtags that include emojis or center around a particular emoji as well.

Similar to any other hashtag, simply type a ‘#' followed by the emoji of your choice and these emoji hashtags can also be searched. Instagram was last updated in December with five new filters.
