If the player’s Looks button is hidden, enable Show Filter Button in Settings → Video Settings. Add All Looks through Customize Home Bottom Buttons for global changes. Screenshots show the English interface on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator.

Open the overlapping-circles Looks button in a player, choose a preset and intensity, and tap Done. Use All Looks from the bottom toolbar to apply a shared treatment.

Open the preset selector

Reveal the upper player’s controls and tap its overlapping-circles icon. The Looks panel shows Original and the available presets with a preview.

Restore the original appearance

Open the same individual or global panel, select Original, and tap Done. Original has no intensity adjustment.

The sources remain unchanged

Looks changes how the app displays the media. Keep the original files for other uses; applying a preset here does not overwrite them.

Frequently asked questions

Why did only one video change?

You opened that player’s Looks button. Use All Looks on the bottom toolbar when the visible panes should share the effect.

Can I adjust the strength of Original?

No. Original removes the treatment, so its intensity control is not available. Choose another preset to adjust intensity.
