The mirror dance effect is a very recent addition to TikTok, but it has already exploded in popularity. It has already been used in 53.4k videos, and as people get more creative in how they use the filter, it looks like that number is going to continue to grow.
One TikTok user that has went viral as a result of the filter is ‘cjthepinoy’. In his video, which has already amassed 6.1 million views, he tells his viewers to ‘stop scrolling and check out this filter’ before breaking out into a fast-paced dance duet with his outlined double.
While a lot of TikTokers are inspired to dance along with the filter, others are getting a bit more creative and using it as a meme format!
