How to get the shook filter on TikTok

TikTok users are going viral with their videos pranking family and friends with Snapchat’s popular ‘shook’ filter — here’s how to try the filter out for yourself.

A number of viral trends on TikTok in the past have been based on the huge range of filters that are available on the app. This can be anything from the versatile green screen filter to the wildly popular face zoom effect.

However, not all of the filters that end up going viral on the platform are actually from TikTok. Some of them are sourced via other platforms like Snapchat or Instagram.

The latest effect to take over TikTok is from Snapchat, and is named the ‘shook’ filter. It transforms people’s faces into a bizarre expression with wide eyes, and people have been going viral with their videos using it.
