Instagram introduced face filters and rewind option: Copies snapchat

The company is further adding some more features to its app to gain the attention of more users. But it looks like it is copying few features from another popular app, Snapchat. Now, Instagram has introduced face filter for its story feature which seems to be borrowed by Snapchat. The Snapchat has a similar feature 'Lenses' which can be used to apply some filters to the stories.

 

The Instagram's new feature comes with eight face filters and this can be applied to the pictures or even videos which are captured by your smartphone's camera. Other than this, the app also adds a new feature for videos by name 'Rewind'.

This rewind option works similar to Snapchat where one can play video stories in rewind mode. Once you update and restart your app, you will be able to access this new features on both iOS and Android phone.

Tapping on a little face symbol which appears on the bottom right corner of the device, pops up other face filters. This filter detects one's face and moves around as you keep moving. After applying the filter, you can share the images as usual.
