Hidden iOS Camera Filters – Here’s How to Use Them
Since past previous iOS, the iPhone stock camera has camera filters which you can use during taking photos to turn your photos to look a little bit different, depends on the filter that you chose to use with.
Now since Apple published and released iOS 12 to the public, there are new sets of photo filters which unfortunately you won’t be able to find it on the iOS stock camera.
Here’s the trick to use the hidden camera filters and what these hidden filters are.
1) Open Messages app.
2) Compose a new text message by tapping on the pencil with notes icon located on the top most right of screen.
3) Before tapping on the Camera icon, pick a random message recipient by tapping on the (+) button located on top right of the screen. Any random number/person will do.
4) Tap on Camera icon, located on the left side just above the iOS keyboard.
5) Once the camera opened, tap on the star icon, located on bottom left of the screen.
6) Tap on the filter icon (the one with red, green, blue circle) to bring up list of hidden camera filters.
There are 5 hidden photo filters here:
- Comic
- Comic Mono
- Ink
- Watercolor
- Watercolor Mono
7) Choose any of the hidden filter and snap your photo.
8) Once snapped, if you would like to save it to Camera roll, tap “Done” or tap the “Blue Arrow” only if you would like to send your just snapped photo to the recipient.
That’s it! That’s the trick to make use of 5 hidden photo filters on iOS 12.
Bring It All Together
I would wish Apple to make this hidden filters to be enabled and part of filters on the iOS stock camera app. Though the filters are great, but currently it super hassle to take a comic-look and other hidden filters photos, since you need to go to Messages app to take the photo and for each photo, you have to do the same whole steps again.
