How to get the PS5 filter
- Head on over to Instagram and click on add to your story
- At the bottom of the screen are the filter icons- scroll through these.
- At the end of this list, you will see a magnifying glass with the title "browse effects"
- Give that a click, then look for a second magnifying glass up in the rip right corner which will show you a search bar when clicked.
- Type 'PS5 box' and select it
- Choose the box effect you like the most and click on 'Try it'
- Turn on your camera (make sure it's the rear one) and take a picture of your surface of choice
- Now you will see your PS5 box filter! Angle it and move it around so it looks how you want it and then take the picture.
- You're all done! Just upload the picture and let the ruse begin!
The next step is seeing how many of your friends you can fool with the trick- have fun!
