Instagram update adds new filters and support for emoji hashtags

If you're a big fan and a moderate to heavy user of Instagram, we have some exciting information to pass along to you. There are new filters added to the app: Lark, Reyes, and Juno. According to Instagram, Lark "desaturates" reds while "punching up" blues and greens to bring landscapes to life. Reyes adds a "dusty, vintage look" to your images. And Juno "tints cool tones green while making warm tones pop and whites glow."

Instagram is also adding emoji support for hashtags. This way, if words fail you when you're trying to express yourself with a clever hashtag, you can simply find an emoji that best demonstrates your emotions, and post it on Instagram.


The update is available today with version 6.11.0 for iOS, available from the App Store. Version 6.20.0 for Android is available from the Google Play Store. You can take a look at the new filters by clicking on the slideshow, below.
