At Instagram and Facebook’s largest event for creators to date in India - Creator Day India, the company launched a unique pilot, to launch effects that represent the trendiest AR effects made by a combination of people.
The company paired 6 content creators known for their wit, humor or dance skills, with some of the most talented AR creators, to materialize into a bunch of entertaining effects that will drive trends on the platforms.
