Russian app Prisma's new feature could change the way we use Facebook Live.

Russian app Prisma's new feature could change the way we use Facebook Live.

Russian app Prisma, which popularized the use of deep learning-powered photo filters, is launching a new feature that works with Facebook Live.

An update to the Prisma app will let users start broadcasting via Facebook, with the option to apply one of eight Prisma filters to their live streams.

There are limitations, though, the biggest being that this feature is only currently available on the iPhone 6S and 7.

Prisma’s creators say this is because applying the filters to video live takes considerable processing power and only newer hardware can handle it.
