If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time on social media. Whether it’s posting pictures of your cat or taking a picture of the new car you just bought, you’re constantly in front of your screens. But what if there was a way to keep yourself entertained without having to leave your computer? That’s where Heads Up! comes in. This app is designed to help you stay ahead of the curve on social media by giving you tips on how to make sure that your posts are seen by as many people as possible. To start using Heads Up! on Messenger and Instagram, first open the app and sign in with your Facebook or Twitter account. Then, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen and select “Heads Up!” from the list that appears. Once you’ve chosen Heads Up!, it’ll give you a few tips on how to make sure that your posts are seen by as many people as possible. For example, if you’re using Instagram, it’ll tell you how to use filters and hashtags to make sure that your photos look more interesting and popular. And if you’re using Messenger, it’ll tell you how to use stickers and emojis to make sure that your messages are more engaging for friends and followers alike.
The new version of the game, which was announced by Meta, is played with Facebook Messenger and Instagram’s AR calling feature. You can play it remotely, which is a significant departure from the original Heads Up!, which required you and your friends to be in the same place.
The AR version of the game comes with four different card packs that give the game some decent variety. There’s Animals Gone Wild, That’s So 90s, Pantry Raid, and Act Your Face Off. Each one features different clues, so there should be enough to keep things fresh for a long time.
Meta describes the game as a “hilarious twist on charades where players have to guess the word on the card that’s on another player’s forehead before the timer runs out.” If you’ve ever seen an episode of Ellen’s TV show, you’re probably familiar with the game.
Heads Up! is part of Messenger and Instagram’s Group Effects feature. To use it, launch a video call, tap the smiley face to open the effects tray, and select Group Effects.
