Here's How to Find Which Disney Character You Are Using Instagram
If you've been seeing everyone using those new Disney and Harry Potter filters on their Instagram stories, you're not alone.
But the question is: How exactly can you find and use the filter that you want?
Below, we break down just how easy it is.
If you've been cruising your Instagram stories lately, you might've noticed that it seems like every single one of your friends is using a new, interactive quiz filter. Each of them answers burning questions, like: What will you be doing in 2020? Which Disney cartoon are you? And—my personal favorite—what Harry Potter character would you be? (I'm Draco Malfoy, in case anyone wanted to know.)
In a viral moment that warmed our hearts, Zelda Williams—the daughter of the late comedian Robin Williams—recently shared her own Disney filter quiz with her social media followers. And coincidentally, she was matched with Genie from Aladdin, who just so happens to be one of her father's most iconic movie characters. "Y'all..." she simply captioned the clip of her finding out the results.
So if, like our team here at OprahMag.com, you've been seeing this delightful filter everywhere and have been experiencing a major case of FOMO (fear of missing out), we're here to help. Below, we've outlined the easy ways you can search for and use those nifty new Instagram filters.

How can I get or search for the Disney or Harry Potter filters on Instagram?
1) Use Instagram Stories
The next time you're looking at a friend's Insta story and they're using a filter (which, according to the platform, are technically called "AR effects") that you like, you can click on the effect's title in the upper left corner of their story. That will then generate a "Try It" button, which will let you use the same exact one.
2) OR: Find It Yourself
If you open your Instagram Camera and swipe right, there will be a "Browse Effects" option. You then tap that to find a gallery of filter options you can try out for yourself.
3) Save the Effects
Once you use either of the above options, you'll see an option to "Download" or "Save" the filter. By tapping either, the filters and effects of your choice will now always be saved to your Instagram Camera.
4) Follow New Instagram Accounts
Did you know there's a community on Instagram of creators who actually make these viral filters we're all obsessed with? We've listed a few of the most popular below—but once you find an account of a creator whose work you love, tap the "Effects" tab on their profile to see a collection of their best work.
These are so cool! How can I look up other Instagram filters?
