The What Do You Meme filter is going viral on TikTok and Instagram. Here's how to use it...
New TikTok filter alert! Over the past few days, the 'What Do You Meme?' filter has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram, with a whole load of hilarious videos racking up millions and millions of views.
The filter is based on the Cards Against Humanity-type card game of the same name and challenges users to create reaction images based on an absolutely wild caption. Users have three seconds to react to a caption before it takes a photo and creates a meme.
There's two different What Do You Meme? filters that are currently available on Instagram and TikTok. There's the #WhatDoYouMeme filter (which takes a pic and creates a meme) and the #CaptionThis filter (which is more to do with the terrifying accuracy of the caption).
Here's where to find and how to use the What Do You Meme filters on both platforms.

1) Open Instagram and search for 'What Do You Meme?' in the search bar.
