Instagram is no more a place for filtered images or random video stories. Memes are the latest trend taking over all that due to the cool effects, music and many more features that the platform has introduced this year to keep us all occupied and distracted.

10. Augmented Reality filters by different brands

The Augmented Reality (AR) feature is said to blow away the marketing trends in the year 2020 on social media platforms such as Instagram due to its huge range of applications. Brands can now customise their own GIFs, stickers or face filters if they like.
