The bizarre filter immediately prompted users to start pranking their friends and family with it.
One trend using the effect sees users applying the filter to their face, and having someone situated behind them so they are also looking at the camera. They get the other person to hold up different amounts of fingers so they can ‘guess’ how many with their eyes closed, and thanks to the filter, they are able to get it right every time.
