The 'Waves' filter has been trending on Instagram. While there are several copycat filters available, here's how to get the original one on TikTok. The new 'wavy' or 'wave' filter has been trending on Instagram, and there is a way to get it on TikTok with a simple workaround. Every few weeks, it seems like a new filter goes viral. While the credit for the most innovative filters usually goes to Snapchat, this time it's Instagram's turn. The filter in question isn't an official one created by Instagram, but a user-generated effect that has gained popularity in the last few weeks. Among the currently trending filters, Snapchat's Crying face filter is still doing the rounds. The filter applies a very real sad/crying expression that adds a hilarious twist to the most normal of conversations. Another popular filter, also courtesy of Snapchat, is the Shook filter. The exaggerated shocked expression creates a Chucky-like effect that's both funny and scary at the same time. The new wavy filter that's gone viral on Instagram is just one of many that deliver a similar effect. It's called 'Waves', and when used to record someone walking or even standing still, creates a wavy effect that makes it look like they're dancing. To use the Waves filter on Instagram, swipe to the right in…
