Your TikTok For You Page has probably been flooded with the phrase ‘Rio De Janeiro’ – but what does it mean?
Meaning of ‘Rio De Janeiro’ on TikTok
Rio Da Janeiro is the name of a viral Instagram filter that adds a pink and orange ombre effect to your photo.

The filter has gone viral on TikTok this month and people are writing the Brazilian city name when they share a video using it.
It’s existed on Instagram for years and made a comeback in 2023, but its return has become a bit of a meme.
How to find the ‘Rio De Janeiro’ filter

- Swipe left on the screen to scroll through the filters
- You’ll see ‘Paris’ first then ‘Los Angeles’ and ‘Oslo’
- Keep scrolling until you get to ‘Rio De Janeiro’
Instagram filter used in viral trend
It’s being used as part of a viral trend where social media users are asking others to rate how attractive they are.
You share a boomerang of yourself, write on the screen “Rate me” and add a slider where people can rate your good looks.
The trend can only be done on Instagram Stories using the slider sticker, but many are reposting their videos on TikTok.
