The Instagram team has introduced Focus mode in the updated application, which allows you to blur the background and highlight the face when taking photos and videos. Previously, portrait mode was only available on some cameras and smartphones on iOS (iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus and iPhone X) and Pixel and Pixel 2 XL on Android. Also, blurring could be added in third—party applications - for example, Magic Portrait Mode, FabFocus, LightX and Point Blur.
