Instagram ban
Instagram is banning cosmetic surgery filters.
It's hoped the move will allow users to feel less pressure to look "perfect".
Instagram is concerned the filters could be having an impact on the mental health of its users.
Cosmetic surgery filters have become more popular in stories, with a number of new versions recently designed.
The social media platform hopes its decision will help users feel less stressed, especially around how they look.
The company is, "removing all effects from the gallery associated with plastic surgery".
It also said it is, "stopping further approval of new effects like this."
Spark AR, the augmented reality platform that creates filters, said it is re-evaluating its, “existing policies as they relate to well-being”.
The company wants those who use their effects to have a “positive experience”.
It's not clear when the filters will be removed from users' accounts.
