Many users have reported that they cannot use some effects on Instagram. They get an error message when they try to use specific effects. It says that the effect the user wants to use is not available in their region. But you can remove the error by turning on hand and face effects on your Instagram.
A few months ago, Instagram had to remove several of its filters and effects from Texas and Illinois. Those filters broke the local law against using facial recognition technology without permission. The local law prohibits people from recording the facial data of someone without their consent.
However, Instagram reintroduced those filters back with some modifications. Now, the users have to give their permission to Instagram to use effects involving facial recognition technology. You can do that by activating the hand and face effects feature.
Let us find out how to turn on hand and face effects on Instagram.
