FAQs
Since the filter sometimes morphs you into the character that resembles you the most, the filter has been known as the celebrity lookalike filter or the celebrity doppelganger filter. You can find the filter by searching for “celebrity lookalike” in the effects section.
You can not choose multiple pictures from your camera roll for the shapeshifting effect. If you wish to include various characters, the only way is to use a single gridded image that can consist of as many grids and characters as you want. The filter will then choose the one that resembles your face the most!
