Facebook is rolling out new augmented reality filters that let brands create fun and interactive experiences for users. These filters will appear in the Facebook app and give people a new way to engage with their favorite companies. The move aims to bring more playful content to the platform while helping businesses connect with customers in a fresh way.

The AR filters use the phone’s camera to add digital effects to real-world views. Users can try on virtual products, play branded games, or share custom animations with friends. Brands like Nike, Sephora, and Coca-Cola have already tested these tools and seen strong user interest. Facebook says early results show people spend more time interacting with posts that include AR elements.
This update builds on Facebook’s ongoing push into immersive technology. The company has invested heavily in AR and VR over the past few years. Now it is bringing some of those innovations directly into its main social app. The goal is to make everyday interactions more engaging without requiring special hardware.
Businesses can design their own filters using Facebook’s Spark AR Studio. The tool is free and does not require coding skills. Facebook says it wants to make AR accessible to all kinds of brands, from big names to small shops. The company also plans to offer support and templates to help creators get started quickly.

Users will find these filters in the camera section of the Facebook app. They can use them in Stories, comments, or direct messages. Facebook hopes the feature will encourage more creative sharing and keep people coming back to the platform. The filters are available now for select partners and will expand to more businesses in the coming weeks.
