Best Instagram filters: You can use these effects for your Story

Instagram offers the possibility to record the Story directly with filters to create the best shots. In addition to beauty filters, there are also some fun and particularly trendy filters.

Best filters for Instagram Stories

In addition to the filters that Instagram itself offers for editing Stories afterwards, all users have been able to create their own filters since August 2019. These filters will then be available to all other users.

• The trend is clearly moving towards naturalness. Many great bloggers and influencers therefore deliberately point out that they use colour filters at most, but rarely beauty filters for their shots.
• Colour filters such as “Retro Glam” by pilotmadeleine, or “retro” by elenaundben change the light and the colour of the shot, but do not distort the face, for example.
• By clicking on the magnifying glass, you can browse the effects gallery. You can either enter a specific name, or look through the categories shown above.Despite this, there are still many beauty filters that are still popular to use from time to time. These filters usually make the lips look a little fuller, the chin a little pointier and the eyes a little bigger than normal.
• However, the intensity of some filters can be adjusted. In this way, relatively natural results can be achieved despite the beauty filter. This is possible, for example, with “Cute face” by positivebaby.

• Other beauty filters, such as “NO FILTER” by alexandra_rmh, on the other hand, do not allow the intensity to be adjusted.

• In addition to colour and beauty filters, there are also fun filters in the Instagram app. With “celebrity twin GIRLS” by max_aivi, for example, similar-looking celebrities can be identified.

• The filter “AmcasKreisen” by said_akcan cuts the head of the shot into a police chase.

• Generally, filters of all kinds should be used to a certain extent. Beauty filters in particular can greatly distort reality and mutate into false images of beauty.

Discover and use Instagram Story Filters

Directly when recording an Instagram Story, already saved effects are displayed to the left and right of the record button.

• To select specific effects, you need to swipe left or right until the desired effect appears.
• To record, now click the button that frames the selected filter as usual.
• If you want to browse more effects, swipe your finger to the far left. A magnifying glass symbol appears there, which is marked “Search effects”.
• You can try out the effects found in this way directly or save them. If you save the effects, they will appear directly next to the filters you have saved so far when you make further recordings.
