These days, the question isn't whether you're on TikTok but rather how much time each day you're spending on the app. Whether you're scrolling through creative makeup tutorials or simple-but-satisfying recipes, there's no doubt you've encountered some of the trendy filters that many people on the app love to use. Some filters create a glowy effect, smoothing out skin and simulating makeup on the face. Other filters are sillier, matching you with your twin Disney character based on your appearance or figuring out who your celebrity parents are. There is a massive range of TikTok filters, and if you can imagine it, it probably exists.
Popular TikTok filters can be all fun and games, but some of them have brought up concerns for users. Given how drastically they can warp how we see ourselves and how we see others, it can be confusing to scroll through filtered people for hours on end. For example, the inverted filter was very popular in 2021, but it made some users feel very critical about how others see them. Nonetheless, there are plenty of popular filters that don't take themselves too seriously and are fun to try out every now and again.
Whether you want something funny or are more into the thirst-trap game, there's a filter for you in the depths of TikTok's filter library. If you're trying to keep up with the latest TikTok trends, check out these fun filters that have been all across your For You Page lately.
