TikTok has taken off since it became available to people all over the world in 2017. The video streaming and sharing network has been the starting point for many viral videos.
Rappers, famous people, and even chefs who are known all over the world have been known to use TikTok. In 2021, social media overgrew that you can be almost anyone online with just a few clicks.
Some selfie filters do us a lot of good, but others don't make us feel good about ourselves. Here's how to use the Inverted Filter on TikTok to see what your face looks like!
What is the Inverted Filter on Tiktok?
The Inverted Filter on TikTok does nothing more than flip the video you want to record. All you have to do to use it is tap the screen, and the video will convert so that everything is backward.
The Filter Shows You Exactly How You Look
Many people use the inverted filter with the front-facing camera, and TikTok users say it shows how you look. People say that the picture you see is how everyone else sees you, which has made some TikTok users feel so bad that they have turned to Twitter.
One Twitter user wrote, “I can't stop looking at the inverted filter on TikTok since I heard that's how people see you. I'm upset by how much worse other people think I look than I thought I did. “Why isn't my face symmetrical? It bothers me.”
“I'm going to cry because I just looked at myself too long with the inverted filter on,” said someone else. A third person wrote, “Having a breakdown because I tried the Inverted Filter for the first time.”
How to Get Tiktok's Inverted Filter
You can easily give the Inverted Filter a try if you want to.
- First, open the TikTok app and press the “+” button to start recording your video.
- Then, touch the “Effects” icon to the left of the camera button.
- Slide to “trending” and scroll through all the icons until you find the inverted filter icon, which comprises two light blue arrows.
- Just click the icon, and you're done! You should be able to see your face the other way around.
The Controversy Behind The New Feature
The face may look like it belongs to someone else when looking at the inverted version of a picture or video. Part of this could be because our faces are not the same shape on both sides. At first glance, the two sides of our faces may look too much alike.

But seeing a version of yourself without the flip could make you feel less good about yourself because the features weren't seen the way people were used to seeing them every day.
Here's another reason why the inverted filter might make you feel strange when you look at yourself. When people look in a mirror, they see a mirror image of themselves. The image of yourself that others see when they look at you is your “unflipped” image.
It caused a bit of panic on social media, but people got used to the differences over time. From someone else's point of view, people could see symmetry. They got used to seeing themselves as they were and could act and move normally.
