Is Snapchat making a comeback with its new crying face filter? It appears so. The videos of users crying tears – thanks to augmented reality technology – have taken flight on TikTok, and all over social media.

But before we get into the fun of this filter, despite the rumours and popular belief, according to TMZ, the cry face filter was not inspired by actress Amber Heard. She recently offered a tearful testimony in court recently against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
