Instagram introduces new ‘Superzoom’ camera and Halloween-inspired face filters

Ahead of the Halloween, Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram has rolled out new creative tools – “Superzoom” and Halloween filters and stickers.

The “Superzoom” is a new in-app camera format that allows users to automatically zoom in and record a funny video with dramatic sound effects.

“When you open the camera, you’ll see “Superzoom” next to “Boomerang” under the record button. Tap “Superzoom” and then tap record to automatically zoom in with suspenseful music,” Instagram noted on its blog post.

As always, users can send the recorded video to friends on Instagram Direct or can add it to their story.

Instagram has also added Halloween face filters and stickers in the update, but these will be available through November 1.

“Whether you’re planning spooky activities with friends or just hanging out at home, get into the Halloween spirit by turning yourself into a zombie, transforming from a vampire into a flying bat or getting lost in a mysterious fog. You can also add Halloween stickers to your photos and videos as a final touch,” added Instagram.

These updates are available as part of Instagram version 20.0, and for both iOS through App Store and for Android app through Google Play.
