There's a new TikTok and Instagram filter which has users snapping up a storm.
This filter, called Anime Style, allows users to see what they'd look like if they were in an anime. And while it might not be entirely accurate it's definitely satisfying to use.
Since it was discovered on Snapchat, the Anime Style filter has gone viral on video-sharing platform TikTok and Instagram.
Like any viral-worthy filter, it uses your skin colour, hair and other features to re-create your likeness, as if you were pulled right out of a Shōnen manga or anime series.
As an added bonus, it seems to be working on pets as well which is sure to supply hours of enjoyment.
Here's how to get the filter:
First, you'll actually need to grab the filter from Snapchat, since this is where it originates from.
Go ahead and download it, or just open the app if you've already got it on your phone.
Using Snapchat's search function, look for "Anime Style" and then click on it. Here is a direct link to the filter so you know what you're looking for.
Open up your camera in Snapchat and then save the filter to your Snapchat collection – there is an option which should read "unlock for 48 hours".
Still inside Snapchat, use the camera with the filter on to take a picture or choose an existing one from your image library.
Once you're done, save it to your camera roll and then get sharing on either TikTok or Instagram by uploading it and publishing.Or, even easier, you could just share it on Snapchat!

Anime Style isn't the first filter to kick off, though; many effects were used as boredom-beaters during the coronavirus lockdown earlier in the year.
So what are you waiting for?! Happy snapping!
