The Instagram Stories skins have become more than just a passing fad. And it is that more and more creators are putting all their creativity into this function. That is why we find masks that completely deform our features, imitate famous people or celebrities from movies and series, or even pose games of skill. Something that has created a problem for the user: how do I order my favorite filters? Where do I find these filters? But Instagram has already worked to make it a convenient feature.
That's why they've created a new search function for AR skins and effects within Instagram Stories This way, if you feel creative with your stories and you don't know where to find new effects, you will be able to browse all of them without losing your mind. Of course, you have to know that the Explore effects function is at the end of the carousel of masks that you already have in use within Instagram Stories.
Just enter Instagram Stories and slide your finger from right to left through all the carousel effects. Browse the entire collection like this until you find the last one, which is not a skin but the aforementioned function. Its icon will give you the clue, which is made up of a magnifying glass with a couple of stars with the corporate colors of the Instagram logo. So click on the icon to see the entire collection of Augmented Reality masks and effects available.
When doing so you will find a new screen called Effects Gallery. A new section that is completely categorized to find all the effects you are looking for easily. To do this we can look at the sections at the top, with which we can see the effects of the creator accounts we follow, the effects of Instagram , or anything related to selfies, love, color and light, camera styles, moods, fun, environment, animals, sci-fi and fantasy, weird and spooky, events, hobbies, and causes. That is, a good collection and many sections to find the one we want.
Once we are on the screen of the category that interests us we can navigate through the collection of effects. Photos of their creators with these effects applied are displayed for you to take a look at. If we want, we can click on the desired effect to see how it looks or how it looks in a real story.But the most interesting thing is to click on the icon in the lower right corner that has an arrow pointing downwards And it will be the way to save the effect in our own carousel to have it at hand when recording our own Instagram Stories.
Goodbye to the followers by effect
This new system of ordering Augmented Reality effects and masks comes to replace the poor process that existed before it It consisted of forcing us to follow a creator's account to find their effects available in our own carousel.
Instagram also tried to create special sections within the profiles of effect creators. This way, we just had to find one of these profiles and see if we were interested in any of these effects to save it to our carousel.The problem was still the same: know which accounts created content of this type
The Effects Browser now helps with this task. Of course, knowing where this function is located. With this, you just have to browse the ever-growing collection of Augmented Reality effects that populate Instagram Stories. A solution that creators will not like so much, who will see that do not gain new followers even though their effects can go viral
