Instagram’s latest update comes with three new filters and support for emojis.

The three new filters are called Lark, Reyes and Juno and these are designed to brighten up your photographs in time for Spring.

Each of these filters join five others that were added in December. These emojis received fantastic reception from users and Instagram plans to release more at a faster rate.

You can now also use emojis in your hashtags. You can find available emojis in the Explore page within the app or whenever you see them in captions.

The latest version is now available in both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
