Summer is definitely here. Everyone is feeling the heat and wants to cool down at the beach or go on a road trip with friends, but with the pandemic still in full swing, it’s better and much safer to spend summer indoors. With the aid of technology, we can still spend time with friends by joining watch parties, catching up on video calls, playing online games together and the like. But how can we inject that summer feel in our daily lives without going out? We’ll if you miss the bright green tropical trees, the sparkling blue beach and the wild yellow of the summer sun, then we’re here to help. We’ve prepared a High Five summer-themed Instagram filter list to help you feel the summer vibe and take some fun photos from the safety of your home.
Ice Cream Lovers

This filter makes an ice cream magically appear in front of your mouth for some much-needed cooling sweetness. Open your mouth and see what effects this fun filter has in store for you.

Beach
