Messenger rolls out Holiday-themed features

Suggested word effects, new soundmojis, holiday AR effects, and more features come with the newly introduced Holiday-themed package by Messenger.

New AR Filter Collab

Instagram partnered with beauty guru Ashley Strong to create an AR effect that’ll help users glow up for the celebrations on Messenger and Instagram video calls.

Ashley’s AR Effect encapsulates sparkles and shiny snowflakes that appear from the eyes when one blinks. With this effect, users can magically freeze the screen. They will have to just open their mouth for a cold breath to start to appear and freeze the screen.

The holiday AR effects features can be explored by tapping the smiley face icon to see them in the ‘Effects’ tab. The user needs to start a video call or open the Messenger camera to take a selfie. They are available on both, the Messenger app and Instagram.
