“Applying Live Filters to faces on Stories makes storytelling experience more dramatic. Live Filters automatically detect and recognize a user’s face using Machine Learning and help people have more fun while storytelling. Live filters being launched for this festive season include a cool Girl Santa, cute Elf, wacky Christmas Tree, Rudolph the Reindeer and Snowman,” Hike said in a press statement.
In addition to the new feature, the platform has launched a special ‘Animated Stickers’ for the festive season. The ‘Animated Stickers’ pack includes Christmas, New Year and popular Hikin, Penguin and Dance for the on-going wedding season in parts of the country. The messaging platform has also added New Year Resolution stickers.
