well the day has finally come Instagram has faced filters and the effect looks just the same as it does on snapchat we all saw this coming after all Facebook owns Instagram and both apps have been copying snapchats features to try and harness it's fun and frivolous spirit the cartoonish effects overlay right on top of someone's face snapchat has the famous dog face effect and Instagram does the bunny face thing totally different right there's also golden crown thingies in Instagram and nerd glasses effects and you can make cool sexy kissy faces you know the usual totally unique things you'll find these effects by tapping on the face icon in the bottom right corner there are also more tools in the camera you can play videos in Reverse just like you can do on snapchat and there are hashtag stickers people watching your story can tap the hashtag sticker to see other posts with the same hashtag and there's an eraser brush in the drawing tools so you can take a photo fill the screen with a color and erase with your finger to reveal the photo underneath snapchat should be worried about Instagram getting into its space because way more people use Instagram 700 million people log onto Instagram every month and snapchat well it last reported about a hundred and sixty-six million people use it daily growth has slowed when a lot of people you know already use Instagram and it does the same stuff there's less incentive to try out snapchat so that's why snapchat has to keep inventing silly ways to share videos and photos well sort of new things I mean recently it added a way to let you loop a video forever where have I heard that one before I'm Bridget Carey and you can keep up with the latest social media copycats and sitcom
