Yes, Meta will discontinue support for third-party AR filters on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger starting January 14, 2025. The company is also shutting down its AR development platform, Meta Spark, as it shifts focus toward AR glasses and new computing platforms.
Creators are advised to download their work before the shutdown. This move allows Meta to take greater control of the augmented reality experience, paving the way for more advanced and seamless AR features integrated into Facebook and Instagram.
