Instagram has released a new filter for Stories in celebration of the 2018 World Cup. The animation changes according to the selected camera, interacting with the user’s facial expression in selfie mode. When the front sensor is selected, just open your mouth for footballs and the word «Goal» to come out.
The rear camera also received animated effects in the thematic filter, which works for photos and videos posted on Stories and is available on Android and iPhone (iOS). Check below how to find, use and make posts with the filter to celebrate the result of the games in Brazil.
