Today, Instagram is among the most popular social networks. This service is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Instagram is loved for descriptive profiles, which contain many photos and videos, for a convenient system of user interactions using likes and subscriptions. Masks that work on the basis of augmented reality technologies are of particular interest and some kind of innovation. Many have heard of their existence, but they do not know where to get them.
In order to make your Instagram stories (Stories) even more colorful, use virtual filters (masks) for processing faces. You can post edited photos only to your Instagram Stories, or you can also save them and then post them to Instagram, Vkontakte or Facebook.
Animated Instagram masks work on both iPhone and Android.

How to add animated masks and effects to photos and videos on Instagram
Chances are, you already know how to work with selfie filters. MSQRD (and many others) offer a similar feature that many users love. Instagram Face Filters work very similarly, but activate slightly differently. So how to use filters.
1. Open Instagram on your mobile device.
2. Open Instagram camera (click on the camera icon in the upper left corner or slide your finger across the screen from left to right).
3. Click on the emoticon icon in the lower right corner.
4. Touch one of the templates at the bottom of the screen.
5. To view all faces, swipe left and right across the screen.
6. Raise your eyebrows or open your mouth to activate some of the masks.
7. Press the shutter button to take a photo, or hold down to take a video.
8. You can use the buttons in the upper right corner to add stickers, pictures or text.
9. Click the "Save" button or the plus sign to add the photo to the story.
Filters work with both the front and the main camera of a mobile device. You don't need to touch the display to brighten your face or activate a function. After saving the photo to the gallery, you can add it to Instagram like any other photo.
How to add new filters and masks to Instagram
Apart from the templates suggested by the Instagram developers, there are many great user-created masks and filters.
To go to the custom effects gallery, scroll through all the available masks to the right to the More Effects button.
The same can be done by clicking on any mask and in the menu that appears, select the View Effects option.
The gallery of effects is divided into many thematic categories that can easily help you find the desired option.
Here you can view the action of each effect and, if desired, try it out by pressing the corresponding button. To save the effect in the camera (in the menu where the default masks are located), click the button with the down arrow in the square.
The masks we are talking about are also offered by users completely free of charge on their pages. If a user's profile page has a section with an emoticon, then they are an effects designer for Instagram.
Go to the effects section on the user page and select the suggested mask.
If you like someone's work, we recommend subscribing to the account you like, so you will receive new masks immediately after they are published.
