How To Get The Celebrity Lookalike Filter On TikTok
If you haven't tried the lookalike filter yet, then you are missing out on a great feature. Now let's run through how you can access it, and decide whether you look more like Brad Pitt, or a Billy Bear ham slice.
Here is how to enjoy the Shapeshift filter on TikTok:
- Open the TikTok app and sign in
- Type Shapeshift into the search bar
- Select a video that uses the Shapeshift filter
- On the post, tap Shapeshift and then Add to Favourites
- Press the Film button, click on the filter, and select the + button to add a picture of your chosen celebrity/sandwich
- Once you start filming, you will miraculously morph into the person you have selected
You can have a lot of fun using this filter, pranking friends and family. Or, and this is controversial, paying someone a compliment.

What Is The Celebrity Lookalike Filter?
While the Instagram lookalike filter is designed to find the celebrity you most closely resemble, the TikTok filter works slightly differently. Rather than choosing your lookalike, the filter allows you to choose the celebrity you think you look like or want to look like.
This is because there isn't actually a celebrity lookalike filter specifically. Rather, people are making use of the Shapeshift effect, to appear as though TikTok is revealing their closest match. This has enabled people to inject some humour into this craze.
So if you've been looking for a lookalike effect on TikTok and drawing a blank, this could be why.
