HIGHLIGHTS
- The focus mode will offer blur effect for portrait shots.
- iPhone 6s and above, and certain Android handsets get the feature.
- Mention stickers will initially be available only on iOS.
Instagram on Tuesday announced the launch of two new features on the social networking platform globally. The first update is a new camera format on Instagram Storiescalled Focus that lets users take portrait shots with Bokeh effect from their phone's rear or front camera. "When you take a photo or video of someone in the Focus format, their face will stay focused while the background blurs, giving the photo that polished look - something you'll want to share with friends," says Instagram in a statement.
To use the feature, open the Stories tab on the Instagram app. You will see the new Focus button placed next to Superzoom in the Record tab. As the app detects a face in this mode, it will automatically blur out the background. You can tap to click a photo or tap and hold to record a video. Focus will be available on Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, and select Android handsets (2015 and later). The feature will be available as part of version 39.0 for iOS on the App Store, and the same version for Android on Google Play.
